Doc-Drawing is the fusion of observational drawing, emotional freedom, and a documentary approach that captures narratives in real time. More than just representing forms, it seeks to witness stories, document cultures, people, and events, turning each stroke into a living visual archive.

In this process, there is no right or wrong, no beautiful or ugly. The focus is on the experience: observing and self-observing while drawing. Each piece becomes a mosaic of emotions and meanings, a puzzle of symbols and feelings that emerge from the unconscious without filters or censorship.

Every stroke is unique and unrepeatable—by the next drawing, the forms and emotions will have already transformed. Doc-Drawing is not just a technique; it is an exercise in presence, a form of artistic documentation, and a visual testimony of a moment that will never return.
