2015–2026 — On-site Drawing

Travelling Through Drawing

Since 2015, I have explored the world through drawing, gradually building a collection of travel sketchbooks created on location, using ink and watercolour.

At the intersection of architecture, landscape and everyday life, these sketchbooks reflect an artistic practice rooted in direct observation. From architectural details to the urban scale, each drawing seeks to capture the identity of a place, its built environment, its atmosphere and the human presence that brings it to life.

2025 — Marrakech, Morocco — Travel Sketchbook

Sketching Marrakech

Marrakech Drawn is an artistic project dedicated to exploring the city through on-site drawing in ink and watercolour.

As I wander through the city, I observe and draw its traditional architecture, the narrow streets of the medina, the souks and scenes of everyday life.

Through a series of drawings created on location, I seek to capture Marrakech's architectural and cultural identity, bringing together its built heritage, colours, light and urban life.

2024 — Illustrated Book Project

Sketching Prague

Selected Works →

Sketching Prague is an illustrated book project dedicated to exploring Prague's architecture through on-site drawing in ink and watercolour.

As I wander through the city, I draw its historic buildings, squares and streets, with a particular interest in the coexistence of different architectural styles, from Gothic and Baroque to Art Nouveau.

The project aims to bring these drawings together in an illustrated book, offering a personal interpretation of Prague through its architectural heritage and urban landscapes.
