The story about Sunweaver starts in Vietnam, where I was born 23 years ago. I grew up loving art, as in art, I found myself in order, simultaneously free in chaos. My friend once said “The key to open most of the things in life is hobby”, but I barely noticed the meaning of it.
Before finding my path, I was a student in a Journalism academy in Vietnam, trying to establish myself in this field. As time went by, I realized that, no matter how much effort I spent, I would never feel satisfied, if I couldn’t choose to do what I really loved. This situation and the pressure around had brought me nothing but a constant stress; I would not be able to keep up the normal routine of eating, sleeping and most of all, being well and happy. At that point, a change occurred! I moved to another country for love, Greece. New place, new environment… and me… the same mind, built with a huge wall, trapped and nothing had changed.
One day, as I sat down desperate on a chair, I started to doodle randomly on a paper. After some minutes of drawing, I seemed a little bit better, and my mind was less noisy. The page that I drew was not nice at all, but it was the very first calmness, the very first ray of light that I have harnessed after a very long time. I realized that it could be a nice way to welcome the sunlight into the darkness.
Since then, drawing mandala has become my usual activity. After some months of practicing drawing, my artwork looks more beautiful each day. Up to this point, I have realized my own style in drawing mandala, which is merged from:
- My favorite Gothic culture
- My favorite hobby: Video games and Philosophy
- And my current drawing therapy: Mandala
To emphasize this characteristic of my designs, I focus on using the black, white and red color scheme, represented Shadow – Light – Desire; combines with sacred, geometrical patterns, which are presented in detail.
As time goes by, I desired more and more people to see my artwork. I decided to create an art page on Instagram. And later, this website. As so many people have visited and given me compliments, encouragement, and consensus, I start a serious journey.
Using the name Sunweaver as the brand-name, I want my journey, no matter how long it will be, to be remembered that: There could be many gloomy days, but then, you can always find in yourself the ability to welcome the light into your darkness, and grow from there.
I am the Sunweaver and I harness the Sun!
