Have you ever woken up at 5 a.m., before the world is fully awake?When the darkness is still palpable, and you can feel the quiet anticipation in the air.
I drove to the sea, almost alone on the road, and felt a thrill of elation in the solitude.I had my sketchbook with me, my camera, and my morning coffee.

As I sit on the rocky shore, the misty veil of dawn slowly lifts, revealing the silhouettes of trees and seagulls soaring overhead. The air is crisp, and the world feels full of possibility.
My mind starts to wander, drifting back to memories of quiet mornings like this when I was a child. My grandfather would take me on early swims, and we’d sit together in comfortable silence, listening to the symphony of nature.
The world is a canvas, painted with the soft hues of dawn. The brushstrokes of mist and light dance across the sky, while the rhythm of the waves provides a soothing melody.
Some people rush to claim the world’s attention, but I find solace in observing the subtle nuances — the way the light caresses the waves, the sound of the wind whispering through the trees, and the gentle lapping of the water against the shore.

The world is full of beauty if we take the time to see it. As I sit here, surrounded by the majesty of nature, I feel my soul being nourished by the calmness and beauty that envelops me.
In this serene moment, I take out my sketchbook and let the lines of the world guide my pencil.
As the waves whisper calmness, my soul finds its art.
