As 2024 draws to a close, I’ve taken a moment to reflect on the creative path I've walked this year. It's been a vibrant, challenging, and incredibly rewarding time, full of growth and new directions in my art. From sketchbook scribbles to finished digital illustrations, each piece tells a story—sometimes mine, sometimes imagined, and sometimes borrowed from the world around me.
This year, I explored new themes and techniques, pushing myself outside of my usual style. Whether through detailed line work, bold color palettes, or textured shading, each illustration was a new opportunity to connect with emotion, narrative, and atmosphere.
I also had the chance to share my work with new audiences—through social platforms. The feedback, support, and even constructive criticism have all played a role in shaping this year’s output.
Art is a process, and 2024 reminded me that it’s not just about perfection—it’s about expression, experimentation, and persistence. I’m excited to see where 2025 takes me, but for now, here are some of my favorite pieces from this year.
Thank you for following along. Whether you've been here from the beginning or just discovered my work, I’m grateful you're part of this journey.
Until next time, Nicoleta Stavarache
