In 2022, my artistic focus was on refining my rapid painting techniques while maintaining my artistic proficiency. My objective was to be consistently prepared for commissions and to prepare myself for more extensive and intricate projects in the following year. By dedicating myself to practicing the entirety of a painting in a single sitting, I was able to accumulate a substantial number of completed works. This approach honed my skills, ensuring my readiness to confront any artistic challenges that arose.

Throughout the year, I also chose to depict a diverse range of individuals, including fictional and real-life figures, whom I admire for their exceptional work and craftsmanship. I sought to challenge myself by exploring various artistic styles and techniques while adhering to my artistic vision. Each painting presented an opportunity for personal growth and artistic advancement.

Although none of the paintings were exhibited (and this was by design), I viewed each one as a significant milestone in my artistic journey. While there were numerous setbacks, I refrained from discarding them as mere failures. Instead, I chose to recognize them as valuable learning opportunities. Each success or failure provided valuable insights into my artistic nature, enabling me to identify and rectify negative habits in pursuit of a more desirable, distinct, and uncharted artistic direction.

Overall, my work in 2022 was driven by unwavering dedication to my craft and a relentless desire for self-challenge. By focusing on rapid painting techniques and ambitiously striving to complete a high volume of finished works, I maintained an artistic fitness regimen and prepared myself for greater artistic obstacles. The future looks promising as I embark on new techniques and set ambitious goals to explore uncharted artistic territories.
