Reflecting on a period of change, and what's ahead.

After a period of recollection, months of being offline and side-questing (as I like to say), I'm back. With an entirely new website, from its technical setup to its design and direction, I wanted to briefly share a few words about the past and what lies ahead.

For the past two years, leading into this year, I was going through a profound period of change. Many chapters from almost every area of my life found their end, with some closing for good, while other endings blossomed into new beginnings.

During these past months, I shifted my focus heavily towards myself, I dare say for the first time in my life. I spent more time with family and friends, as well as travelling, while essentially pausing any art endeavours almost entirely, with some rare exceptions.

Cut Example 1 — Spending a lot of time hiking lately.

Key Example 2 — Exploring ancient ruins.

As a result, I've found a new surge of inspiration and motivation, also thanks to an entirely new professional environment with an incredibly inspiring atmosphere.

With a new setup in progress, including my first-ever custom-built PC, I want to go back to working more on personal artwork, and finally dive deeper into 3D character art. Thus, I hope to be able to post more in the upcoming months about these endeavours and share more of my work, also including my design projects, which feels incredibly exciting.

With that being said, 2026 has been incredibly kind to me so far, and never before in my life have I felt this much at peace as I do now. And these days, I put peace of mind above everything else. Taking a break can be a wonderful thing, as I've learned. For my part, I only wish I'd done it much, much sooner.

Until soon.
