Exploration & Studies

I draw my own pieces in my free time. It's an opportunity to experiment with ideas, new styles, moods, colors, and visual narratives. I mostly draw self-portraits or personal experiences. Other times, I simply push my observational skills in life studies. More of my personal work is on my Instagram (@art.by.ren).
