My passion: Arts and Crafts  

In a world inundated with the hustle and bustle of modern life, finding solace and self-expression often becomes a rare luxury. Yet, in the realm of painting, I have discovered an avenue where time slows down, and my innermost emotions find a voice on a canvas. Painting, for me, is not just a hobby; it's a passionate journey that unveils the depth of my soul and allows me to create my own world of colours and imagination.

For me, creating a new paint design on various items was a creative and fun way to add a personalized touch and breathe new life into objects.

Sunglasses as a Canvas: 

Sunglasses not only protect your eyes from the sun but can also serve as a canvas for your creativity. Whether you're looking to make a bold statement or add a subtle touch, customizing sunglasses is an exciting way to stand out. Here are some of the sunglasses that I customised myself through my own art:

Here I used acrylic paints, fabric paints, markers, and even nail polish to paint intricate designs on the frames. I used floral designs and added some aesthetic details to give it a vibrant and colourful style.

Nature's Symphony: Finding Inspiration in the Mundane

My inspiration has always come from the exquisite patterns and magnificent beauty of nature. I am constantly inspired by my surroundings, which range from the delicate shape of a petal to the majestic beauty of a mountain range. Each tree, river, or sunset contains a tale that is just waiting to be told again through my brushstrokes.

Sunflowers have been a popular subject in art for centuries, inspiring artists across different styles and mediums.

So, I have been inspired as well to Fabric-paint detailed sunflowers on the front panel of my cap. For this fabric paint, I stuck to a warm and vibrant colour palette that captures the essence of sunflowers:

• Various shades of yellow and orange for the petals.

• Dark brown and black for the centre of the sunflower.

• Shades of green for the leaves and stem.

• A neutral colour for the cap background, which allowed the sunflowers to stand out.

Customising personal Gadgets:

For these ones, I was inspired
from my favourite childhood
Anime: Pokemon

Customising personal electronics has become a creative outlet for expressing individuality in an age where technology is an extension of our identity. Customizing technology, from mobile phones to laptops, not only adds a personal touch but also improves one’s interaction with these daily used devices. 

For me, personalizing my daily used gadgets is a natural way to reflect my individuality. Therefore, I have designed numerous photo covers according to my preference and inspiration.

As I  am artistically inclined,  I have also found my interest in hand-painting my laptop. I used acrylic paints to create intricate designs of one of my favourite Pokémons.
