imen drawsan illustrated journal

✦ a short biography ✦

i am imen.

a digital art painter — and, depending on the hour, a graphic designer, a painter, and a visual illustrator. i move between the screen and the page, painting the small evening rituals of two coasts — the pour of tea, the click of dominoes, the slow opening of a suitcase that has crossed a sea.

every piece begins with a memory — usually domestic, usually warm, usually impossible to verify — and ends as a quiet geometric proof of it. between the two, there is always a teapot.

✦ artist statement ✦

“i don't believe a painting finishes;
it simply learns to wait.”

i work slowly, in saffron and umber and the deep teal of an afternoon courtyard. every painting is a small prayer for what has not yet been written.
