I am an architect by education, and a draftsman and watercolorist by profession. For over a dozen years, I have been running my own drawing school, Creosfera, and a YouTube channel where I have gathered a community of over 100,000 art enthusiasts. Currently, I am opening a new chapter by entering the world of literature. As a history lover, I am working on my debut novel, treating writing as another plane – alongside drawing and watercolor – for creating worlds. This time, however, instead of lines and stains, I build them with words.

Where the Empire ends, and madness begins.
Mauretania, 40 AD. The desert sands hide more than just hostile armies.
Experienced veteran Severus returns to service in the army of Suetonius Paulinus. Following him – against the orders of his adoptive father – sets off the young and defiant Venedus. Neither of them suspects that the ordinary reconnaissance mission they are taking part in is actually a smokescreen for a deadly game.
Within the command of Decurion Severus, nothing is as it seems. Trailing the cavalry turma are the ruthless speculator Asper, a Persian astronomer, and a Greek physician—men whose presence on the front lines breeds a growing unease. Each harbors a hidden agenda; each guards a dark secret. As internal discord begins to fracture the unit from within, and the blistering heat and exhaustion warp the very fabric of reality, the soldiers find themselves facing an adversary far more harrowing than any enemy host. In this merciless wasteland, every step toward their destination strips them of their humanity, yet draws them ever closer to a truth that defies the reach of mortal comprehension.
Novel in preparation.
