From an early age, I was blessed with a boundless imagination. This creative wellspring fueled my adventures in storytelling through comic books in the 1990s and 2000s, and even led me to pen a 150-page book at the tender age of 17. In 1995, I discovered a particular affinity for crafting short stories-a passion that I continue to explore to this day. My explorations culminated in the publication of „Cosmic Apocalyptic Phenomena: Morality Tales from the Untamed Cosmos, “ a collection available through the Author“s Corner on my website, 8Words.Art.My literary debut in 2020 featured 40 morality tales set in the cosmos, evoking the eerie charm of classics like „The Twilight Zone, “ and drawing comparisons to seminal science fiction films such as „Interstellar“ and „2001: A Space Odyssey.“In September 2010, a spontaneous idea transformed my artistic journey: „Why not create a photo box for small clay sculptures, capture their images, and then edit them digitally?“ This epiphany not only redefined my artistic style but also laid the groundwork for the expansive archive that charts the evolution of my visual expression from its emerging stages to the sophisticated designs of today.Another pivotal moment arrived on January 13, 2020, when a thought struck me, bridging a gap that had lingered since 2012: „What if I wrote a story where a fossil of extraterrestrial origin is discovered, rewriting our entire evolutionary record, and leading to an unforgettable adventure?“ This idea not only cured my writer“s block but also marked the beginning of my journey as a published dark science fiction author with the aforementioned book.These moments of sudden insight have not only shaped my creative endeavors but continue to inspire and drive me forward in the realms of writing and art.
