Who is Tsittra?
 

Tsittra is a deeply private man who seeks peace away from the hustle and bustle of the modern world. When he isn’t painting or drawing, he spends his days cycling along quiet paths, walking his dog through misty meadows, or enjoying the company of a few close friends. His life is one of simplicity and reflection, anchored by his connection to nature and his inner self.

For Tsittra, nature is more than a backdrop—it’s a sanctuary. Walking barefoot through forests, feeling the cool earth beneath him, or sitting beneath the canopy of trees grounds him. These moments of quiet immersion in the natural world are his form of meditation. In the stillness, he feels a powerful energy rising from his surroundings—a force that helps him center himself emotionally, physically, and mentally.

Simplicity defines not only his lifestyle but also his worldview. He’s uninterested in money or material possessions. If he could shape the world to his liking, it would be a place of fewer people and more wildlife—a realm of galloping horses, playful dolphins, and vibrant forests. His love for food reflects this connection to nature: he prefers to forage in the wild for herbs and berries, chooses fresh fish over meat, delights in vegetables and pulses, and crafts his own herbal drinks. For Tsittra, good sleep, nourishing food, and staying hydrated are essential not just for physical health, but for maintaining his mental focus and creative energy.

His ancestry holds a special place in his heart. Growing up, Tsittra was surrounded by family—his siblings, parents, and grandparents. But it was his mother and grandmother who had the greatest influence on him. His grandmother, a deeply spiritual woman, often spoke of their ancestors, the mysteries of the universe, and the strength of the women in their family. “The ladies are the Matriarchs of the world,” she would say, her voice steady with conviction. “With no past, there is no future.” Her wisdom left an indelible mark on Tsittra, who sees the women of his lineage as powerful guides—beacons of courage, commitment, and resilience.

Creativity has always been central to Tsittra’s life. His journey as an artist began in childhood. He vividly remembers his first drawing: an upside-down Swan Vestas matchstick. The unconventional perspective sparked a realization that has stayed with him ever since—there are no rules in art. This philosophy has guided his work ever since, freeing him to explore the depths of his imagination.

Tsittra’s art is deeply personal, a reflection of his emotions and his view of the world. His love of colour, shape, and composition comes through in his photography, while his drawings and paintings show an understanding of design that feels both intuitive and intentional. He works with all kinds of media, but his favourite is charcoal, despite its messy nature. “It’s dusty, it gets everywhere, and it’s a nightmare to clean up,” he admits, “but there’s something raw and powerful about it.”

Beyond art, music is another great love in Tsittra’s life. His taste is eclectic, spanning all genres, and he finds that the right melody can be as inspiring as a walk through the forest or a moment of stillness beneath the trees. Creativity, in all its forms, is his way of connecting with the world and with himself.

Tsittra is now ready to share his art with a wider audience.
