DRAWNINGS, PAINTINGS, SKETCHES

1. Couple
This is a aquarelle
painting representation of
a couple. I believe that
even a simple gesture of
love can be shown
through a simple drawing.
I used a combination of
cold and warm colours in
order to show how love
has good and bad times.

2. Portrait

This is a portrait of Kurt

Cobain. When I started
listening to rock music
he was one of my idols
and still is. This was my
first attempt of drawing
a portrait and though
that this way of
representing a rock icon
would be the best.
 3. Hands

This is a sketch of a friend’s hands

while he was reading a diary. I
always had a unique interest in
people’s hands. I think that through
them we can understand people
better and analyze their various
gestures that sometimes combine
lots of movement.
4. Man reading a book

This sketch represents my interest

in people and their way of
behaving in society. I mostly like to
analyze those who read, draw or
listen to music. I think that all
three are a good way of escaping
to another reality and relaxing
your whole mind and soul.

5. Waiting
I love travelling so, while I was
waiting in an airport for my first
flight alone I decided to capture this
moment not with a photograph, but
with a sketch in order to let my
mind both with hands remember
that moment.
 6. Winter card
It was before winter holidays and
I decided to try a winter card and
share it with my friends and
family.
This was my first attempt of
drawing in Procreate app. I
always had passion not just for
pen and paper, but for mouse
and PC. I think that nowadays it
is important to use and adapt to
new technologies that help us
create special things.

7. Sipping coffee

When I did this sketch, I was not

a coffee lover, but I was
fascinated by the scent of it. It
was a mix of relax and energy
at the same time. Someone said
to me that if you want to feel
the true taste of coffee you
should be sipping it with your
closed eyes. That is why I
wanted to capture this idea in a
sketch.
 PHOTOGRAPHS
1.Reflection

I did this photo while

returning from an
international competition.
We stopped to eat
something and with a few
friends, we decided to take
our coffee and desert
outside and admire the
sunset. I was lucky to
observe that there was a
beauty not only in the sky,
but also near me.
2.London Eye

As a student I learned a lot

about English speaking
countries, especially about
the United Kingdom. So, I
persuaded my parents to
go on a trip to London.
While being near London
Eye I was feeling small,
because this was bigger
than I expected and that is
why I tried to take a picture
from this angle to make
others feel what I did in
that exact moment.
 3.Fire
We have been always told
that fire is dangerous.
However no one ever said
how beautiful it can be. I
always feel a fire inside me
that gives me power to be
creative and pursue my
dreams no matter what
happens.

4.Morning
I am not usually a morning person.
Still, I like to enjoy the morning sun
and how it spreads the light in my
room. These are the shadows from
my room louvers and I liked how
every line was on the wall. I took this
photo in order to keep the warmth of
someone’s hard morning.
 DESIGN IDEAS
1.House
This is a simple building design
showing a wood house. I did not
want to complex it with modern
architecture features, because I
though that this would be a great
idea to keep and build a house in a
simple and traditional way but with
better materials and fresh ideas.

2.Bathroom
This is a sketch of a wood
bathroom. This is something
that is rarely seen nowadays.
However I still think that
combining nature and
buildings, would give people a
better way of living and
feeling peace in their soul and
mind.
3.Student Housing
The younger generation is usually the
one who has bright and fresh ideas.
We are the one who like to look into
the future. I decided to combine
futuristic design in an apartment
building meant for students in order
to give them the possibility to feel
that they are the ones who can
change the future.
