This is not a moment of expansion, but of refinement.

This is not a moment of expansion, but of refinement.The works presented here are not departures from what came before, but continuations shaped by time, experience, and the clarity gained through emotional fracture and endurance.Some pieces that once moved quietly have since revealed their resonance—growing in value not through trend, but through sustained presence and accumulated emotional weight.As this cycle unfolds, availability will narrow, not to erase the past, but to honor what remains visible—what insists on being seen.To encounter these works now is to meet them at a point of recognition, not invention.

In love with the "Draw"

I’m absolutely in love with the Draw! Something about the colors, the vantage point and even the ruggedness in the portrayal of this moment….i can’t stop staring at it thanks again!

It´s an investment
