Welcome to my Creative Journeys

Creativity is something bound to human nature and art is the main form of expressing human creativity.

Art can influence the way you think, see and perceive the world.

I created this website during the COVID-19 crisis with the aspiration that my personal journeys to art could inspire other people to march on a creative journey meeting destinations never thought to be reachable.

It happened to me…it can happen to anyone.

What is here for you

In this page you will also find a number of tutorials stemming from my years of experience in the aforementioned topics. Of course I do not know everything nor I have a solution to everything, but I will try to compile what I know to mini tutorials and instructional material for you to browse.

Best wishes and nice creative journeys to all of you!
