Art by charcoal
nature’s raw materials
“Creativity needs no permission. It belongs to anyone who picks up a charred stick and lets it across through a surface. The most powerful art often begins as fire, as dirt, as something the world might overlook.”

An ode to “materiality”
Charcoal as a raw, humble material, outlast empires. The first marks humans ever made, drawn in charcoal and ochre, still breathe on cave walls after 30,000 years. Real pigment never fades.
I spent years studying art and design, yet never knew how charcoal was made, until one evening by the bonfire.I blew out the flame, pressed its blackened tip to wood, and suddenly understood: this is how art begins. Not with perfect tools, but with what the earth offers.
