Freedom

This simple way to draw is a kind of selfcare remedy for me. It enables me to escape this miserable reality around us for a short period of time. When I immerse myself into the task of drawing, I’m in stress free zone where I don’t have to worry anything, regret done past mistakes or put up with tangles of challenging relationships. When I draw, I’m unleashed from all of that and I’m completely free.

Morning drawing

This is one of those "morning drawings" I did last summer having peaceful drawing moments almost  on every morning.

From the sketchbook

I used to carry a small sketchbook like this with me, so that I can do these meditative drawing drillings whenever these is a need and opportunity for that, on the train, after breakfast, at the park etc.

Traces

This is detail of one morning drawing I did a while ago. It is just so relaxing to draw concentrating to the details and drawing process without serious purpose to great everlasting art. Purpose of expandism is not to generate artworks, but to give you good feeling through drawing process. It is mental exercising.
