I am afraid everything will be forgotten

This personal project emerged during my residency in 2022, where I had the opportunity to develop a series of paintings and drawings. These artworks were thoughtfully installed in a specially designed room, carefully curated to foster a dialogue with all the elements present including objects and photographs. The concept behind this drawing installation stemmed from the notion that memory is an ever-evolving entity, often becoming hazy and ephemeral over time.

After that, I decided to give the scene from the initial drawing a twist by transforming it into a digital painting. I began by sketching the elements traditionally to get a better grasp of their structure. Once I had a good understanding, I brought it all together in a digital artwork.
