Time flies
2 years ago, I created the site, and it lasts!!! Wow! Proud of myself. For the very first time a website I built last this long. How time flies when you have something to focus and busy on. I truly enjoy this art journey. So, I'll renew this web hosting service, and keep on updating you my development, new works and ideas.

The Hidden Cost of Creating Art
People often assume that artists create out of thin air, that inspiration simply arrives, and the work somehow materialises without cost. I wish that were true.

The True Cost of Crafting a Fine Art Print
In the age of instant gratification, it's easy to forget that true artistry takes time and money. Producing a quality fine art print is not just about pressing " print " on a machine. It's a meticulous process that demands precision, patience, and passion . From selecting the right archival paper to calibrating color profiles for accurate reproduction, every step matters. Artists and printmakers often spend hours testing inks , adjusting contrast, and ensuring that the fina
