Last week, I released my first novel: The Artist Instance.
For many years, I have been obsessed with the big questions. Why are we here? What is our purpose? What does it mean to exist? These are the questions that my mind keeps wondering every time I stare at the wall for too long.
The Artist Instance is the result of years of collecting ideas, theories, and perspectives on these questions. But this book is not philosophy textbook. It is story. And the story is carried by characters—Anela and Elysia—who are complicated, who struggle, who make difficult choices.
I believe that great stories need great characters. Characters with real dilemmas. Emotional conflict. Ethical questions where you cannot easily say “this is right” or “this is wrong.” I want reader to feel what character feel. To understand their struggle. To ask yourself: what would I do?
The Artist Instance explores consciousness and connection through these characters. As an artist myself, I have always thought of drawings as windows into the artist’s soul. Expanding on that idea felt natural for this book. So the central question became: What if seeing someone’s art—really seeing it, understanding it—could unlock a connection between two people? What if art could be a gateway to truly knowing another consciousness?
This is the very first book in the series. Over my lifetime I have explored this concept deeply, and I believe there is enough material for at least three more books—maybe more. Each book will go deeper, ask harder questions, introduce new layers to this world.
The story is philosophical, yes. But it is also intimate. Emotional. Character-driven. It rewards close reading and reflection, but it also engage you on human level.
You can find The Artist Instance on Amazon now—Kindle version available immediately.
