In the year 2003, I spend in Italy, dedicating my time to a Master Course of Graphic Design at the Florence Design Academy. The experience proved to be a creative odyssey, as I delved into copying Leonardo’s drawings, learning the art history from museums and unexpectedly exploring 3-D software.  This synthesis of skills gave birth to a unique approach – 3-D renderings, scanned watercolours, and photographs seamlessly blended through the alchemy of Photoshop, resulting in illustrations that bore the mark of multiple artistic disciplines. The rich tapestry of techniques learned during that year in Italy continues to influence and shape my creative endeavours to this day.
