Welcome
I’m Sahlan, an artist trained in architecture, believing in the quiet strength of simple forms.
Through clean lines and geometric compositions, I create visual spaces for stillness on your walls, your screen, and pages that accompany your mindful moments.
About Me & My Art
1990s - The Beginning
I’ve been drawing for as long as I can remember. As a child and teenager, I loved sketching everything from video game characters to superheroes, animals, trees, and vehicles. Most of the time, I drew in a realistic style, while other times I leaned into cartoon or manga influences. I was confident in shading with pencils and pens, but coloring always felt more elusive, maybe because I never had the right tools. Still, drawing was something that came naturally, and I kept at it.
2005 - Enter the Architecture
When I began studying architecture, my focus shifted toward spaces, buildings, and design. I started working with a local engineering consultancy during my second year, and over time, drawing became part of my professional life as much as my creative one. Later, I pursued a master’s degree focused on efficient use of resources in architecture and planning, where my perspective expanded even more, toward sustainability, efficiency, and simplicity.
2019 - Geometry in Discovery
My path into geometric art began unexpectedly, with a dotted notebook I received at a workshop. I started connecting the dots to form animals; a wolf, a fox, an owl, a bear, and somehow it strangely felt like I was in an easy mode while also being curious and mindful of what objects I wanted to create. I didn’t use color yet, just filled the shapes with lines, like a kind of meditative line-work.
2020 - Diving into the Digital World
Everything changed when I got an iPad. That’s when I began exploring color and digital techniques, studying how other artists approached low-poly styles. Bit by bit, I refined my own. Now, I create minimalist geometric art using only solid colors and straight lines, constructing bold yet balanced forms, i.e., triangles, that bring together my love for simplicity, structure, and visual calm.
2025 - A Return
In many ways, becoming an artist isn’t a new chapter, it’s a return. A return to something I’ve always loved, long before architecture entered my life, about 20 years ago. Creating art the way I do now feels so intuitive, so natural, like I’m simply following a rhythm I’ve always known.
The first series I released in this geometric journey features insects for a reason; a tribute to their delicate structure, unique forms, and symbolic meaning. They represent transformation and quiet strength, which feels fitting for this season of my life; shifting from architecture to art, and in some ways, simply coming home.
