Welcome to Canvas Trails, a space dedicated to the exploration of art and creativity.

Here you’ll find a collection of my work, thoughts, and inspirations that I’ve poured my heart into.

I invite you to venture into my gallery to uncover works that reflect moments inspired by the vastness and beauty of our world, along with the stories it has to tell.

You will also find my pattern designs - where art meets everyday life, bringing nature inspired works to textiles, home décor and products that make daily spaces sparkle.

Or, if you'd like, explore the trails behind the canvas, by looking into my blog, where I journey into art history in an attempt to connect the past with our present  and look into topics that matter to the creative community. Whether you are an artist, an enthusiast, or quite simply - a curious mind, there will be something waiting for you.

So, even if you’re here to browse, have a read, collaborate, or just want to connect, I hope these trails mark a memorable impression in your own journey.

The Earliest Selfies in Art

The selfie is considered to be a unique, modern phenomenon, born from smartphones and social media. Yet, the desire to share one’s likeness is way older than photography. For centuries, artists have gone beyond creating still life, religious paintings, or landscapes, turning their attention toward themselves. Using a mirror, paint and outstanding skill, they produced what we would call the ‘earliest selfies’. Thanks to their self-portraits, we get to know what the great masters might have actually looked like and more – a glimpse into their lives.
