How ReliQs came to be

What are relics?

Relics are strongest part of an antiquity that survives eons & remains for generations to come.

Why did I pick the word?

I like to see my art as a relic, the result of the inspiration that finds me to fulfill it’s vision & ends up as an artwork that I share with the world. I’m hoping that it will be something that lasts.

Why the Q?

in one of my favorite novels, 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami, the Q puts a parallel twist onto the familiar year, taking it to a new dimension where it's not so familiar. To me it symbolizes a different life than the mundane.
