My sketchbooks are part of an on-going project in which I record my travels. In the process of recreating what lies before my eyes onto paper, I become intimately acquainted with my subject, forcing me to observe, rather than gaze. Unlike orthographic drawings that focus on objective reality, sketching en-plein air embraces the human perspective along with emotions and empathy, enabling the exploration of cities through spatial and visual richness – which I believe to be a step towards the re-humanization of our cities.
