Story Writing

I didn’t write anything for a while, and it started to affect me. I felt anxious and tired.   This morning, I woke up and said to myself, “You haven’t written anything for a while.” My inner Serra was signaling something. I opened this blank page and began to pour out whatever came to myContinue reading “Story Writing”

Being Content

For the first time, I started a piece by creating the illustration first. This post has a different flow than before in terms of how my ideas formed. I was sitting and thinking about my life while looking at the view. There were trees, waves in the sea, and a glass of iced coffee inContinue reading “Being Content”

Balance

I recently started doing stretches every day. During one of the moves, I did something I hadn’t done in a long time—looking at the ceiling. Although I’ve practiced yoga and Pilates in the past, the move itself wasn’t new to me, but the feeling was. I felt peaceful and present. That moment inspired me toContinue reading “Balance”

The Rare Yellow Penguin

My inspirations come from nature. Sometimes, I see a very colorful flower; sometimes, a beautifully simple, single-colored bird. What inspires me is their connection to nature. I think I have more nature photos than pictures of people on my phone. Last year, I saw a rare yellow penguin for the first time. It was yellow!Continue reading “The Rare Yellow Penguin”

Summer embraces bright colors and blues from the sea, while autumn prefers shades of orange and brown, adorned with falling leaves. As human beings, we are intrinsically connected to nature and reflect its rhythms moreContinue reading “Colors and Nature”

Mother Nature and the flow of nature

The neighbors of Mother Nature started to smell some delicious scents wafting through the corridor. As a friend of one of them, I experienced the same enticing aroma when I visited their house. It smelled like a feast was in progress! We tried to guess what was cooking, but to no avail. After two daysContinue reading “Mother Nature and the flow of nature”

Visualization

“I like nonsense; it wakes up the brain cells.” — Dr. Seuss Waking up brain cells? What does that even mean? Are there beds in our brains? I know, it’s a silly question, but Dr. Seuss’s quote sparked my imagination. I was searching for quotes about imagination when I stumbled upon this joyful statement. ItContinue reading “Visualization”

Leonardo da Vinci and His Colors

There’s a man who marked a great milestone in both art and modern studies. He wasn’t depicted in a painting or any other traditional art form. In fact, his image was created with a single color and discovered after its creation. Today, it’s one of the symbols of multidisciplinary modern life. It reminds people toContinue reading “Leonardo da Vinci and His Colors”

An advice to my younger self

If I could give advice to my younger self, one of the most important pieces would be to be simple. That’s why minimalism inspires me so much. When learning to draw new things, I see small shapes that come together to form larger shapes. This understanding helps me learn and practice more efficiently. Even inContinue reading “An advice to my younger self”
