Hi! I’m an ART-STUDENT (painting and video) based in BERLIN - FLASHBACK Part 1 of my working progress

I have never used any platform, no social media, no behance, no flickr, no instagram,- to expose this content.

As I see an opportunity I want to try using Steemit as a platform to give intimate insights of my personal working progress and the experiences I made through shaping my perspective. The drawings I’m showing you today are mostly dated 2012 and made with pastel equipment on grey cardboard.

(I do remember the session for this portrait of my friend Emrah very well! It lastet about 3 hours late into the night, but none of our fun, drinking and talking, is visible in the drawing at all.)

My Idea of what art is or can be was very vague at that time, and I was (as I still am) very afraid of being labeled and so being limited. Because art means the exact opposite..!

These works belong to a closed chapter that I wanted to open and share with you, hoping to guide you from there into the following ones. I had learned a lot at this stage about basic things in life. The constant process of translation from what you see with your eye, to what you draw with your hand, makes you suddenly hyper sensible in general observations. Because its not only proportions (the main architecture) but its the details in the right place that create the great Illusion you like to fall for.

NOTE: I do not call these 'works of art'! They are studies, drawn by me as I was (still am) training my eye and my hand. You can compare it with a carpenter that makes a solid table! You want to go deep? Upvote and follow ;-)!
