There is one element that calls it more above the rest for each artist. For some of them are watercolours, oil, gouache, crayons. For me, it is the ink. I feel a particular affinity with this mysterious black liquid that creates unexpected shapes and immerses me deep on an artistic journey.
My ink adventure did not start well at first. I wanted to use it as is usually done in the Inktober Art Challenge by Jake Parker: creating detailed illustrations with lines, shadows and excellent control of the strokes. This created a lot of stress and made me feel let down by not creating what I wanted.
But that changed when I met other artists who use ink differently: letting it flow.
A whole new world opened up before me: full of improvisation, calmness, simplicity and moments of creation. I fell so in love with ink that it has become my primary material to create. A material that allows me to express my feelings, fears and dreams.
