Read about the process! The Creative RIKXECOM: My creative journey often begins in the stillness of the night. I frequently wake up with vivid ideas for concept art already alive in my mind. To capture these fleeting visions, I keep a notepad and ink pen by my bedside to jot down the main brushstrokes and design ideas. Some nights, I wake up with multiple notes waiting to be transformed into art. In the morning, once I am at my workspace, I power on my main computer tower and start the process of translating one of these notes into a working script. This script serves as a blueprint, elaborating on the exact content of the new abstract art concept my mind conjured overnight. From there, I move to pattern testing, using one of my live drawing tablets or, at times, ink on paper. With the help of various design software, I begin testing and refining the designs. Next, I move to the color station to create a few sample palettes. The curating stage follows, where I save the raw results in a folder titled accordingly. I purposefully step away from the artwork, allowing it to mature in my subconscious. After about a week, I return to reevaluate which concepts warrant further development. The stages of refinement are numerous and time-consuming, often taking six months or longer to reach a near-final form. During this time, I focus on various elements like cropping, angle positioning, tilt, contrast, and other minute adjustments. The process of selecting the dominant design over others is complex and not always easy to accomplish. I carefully check the clarity, sharpness, and fine details to ensure the art feels alive and speaks to me. Once I am satisfied, the piece is filed as a "ready prospect." I typically aim to complete six pieces per set, narrowing them down to those ready to be offered as finished artwork. The selected pieces are then signed, numbered, and entered into my book, along with the year and month of their creation. This lengthy process has been a part of me since childhood, a natural evolution that gave rise to RIKXECOM. The moment I encountered metals, its vibrancy, durability a way to bring my art to life anew.
