An art studio in the making.

For people around the globe 🌍

In a few months, this space will shape into my art studio. Here, art made with words, images, silence, and time will find their home.

The Blueprint for my art studio is here!

I am drafting principles and will share them in the coming days.

Update: Monday, 16 Jan, 2026

What I called principles in the last post, the more I sit with them, the more they feel like values I carry, not a set of universal principles.

So, the revised blueprint: Values → Process → Offering

That’s the whole system. Everything else is detail.

Values

1. How I make art

One canvas. Four elements. One winding process— more human, felt in the fingertips.

2. My art paradigm

What began as two lines is becoming the spine of my art.

3. My constitution A set of commitments and promises I make to uphold.

Process:

1. Who am I?

This question remains open and is an active pursuit of all my art. It’s an active pursuit of my life.

2. My journal

A living, breathing thing. The birthplace of my art.

3. Offering: generosity comes in three forms.

  1. Sit with the poems: Here, you read poetry.
  2. Live with art: Distilled in the form of poetry + photography. Carry them where you are. Home. Office. Commute.

Art made with words, images, silence and time.

3. Gifting

A surprise.

I’m skipping a PoC because it’s not a new idea, the concept has been proven by thousands of artists before me.

So, I’ll launch an MVP by early or mid April. 🍂

If you’d like, you can leave your name.

I’ll reach out when the work asks for witnesses.

    I respect your privacy. Unsubscribe at any time.
