Introduction

So, you want to get to know me as an artist?

Filmmaker, Digital Painter and Writer
aka(AWD)

I exploring the emotional and symbolic layers of the human experience. My work is deeply inspired by myths, psychology, and ancient tales—stories that speak to something hidden and universal. Through visual and performative mediums, I explore the body and mind as sites of transformation, memory, and mystery.

I often work with themes of dark fantasy and horror, not for shock, but to reveal deeper truths. My art invites viewers into shadowed emotional spaces, where vulnerability, fear, and beauty coexist. I use texture, symbolism, and atmosphere to evoke rather than explain—creating immersive experiences that provoke reflection and emotional response.

Philosophical questions drive my creative process: What are we afraid of? What do we long for? How do our inner worlds shape the way we live? Whether in digital paintings, short films, or theatrical pieces, I aim to create work that is intimate, layered, and sincere.

Art, for me, is a way of understanding the world—a way to turn personal questions into shared experience. I am drawn to the unknown, the poetic, and the unsettling, always searching for meaning in the space between reality and imagination.
