I’m an artist. I paint to turn feelings into something people can see - and maybe feel too.

I love painting animals - especially big cats - because they’re powerful, expressive, and full of personality. At the same time, I enjoy exploring different ideas, like historical figures such as Nefertiti or even adding a bit of humor and playfulness to my work. I don’t like to limit myself - I just paint what inspires me in the moment.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration comes from nature, animals, and human expression. For example, big cats in particular inspire me with their power and calm intensity. And simple life moments inspires me with its colorful joys… I’m also drawn to history, ancient faces, and cultural symbols like Nefertiti. Sometimes inspiration comes unexpectedly from emotions, daily life, or even something humorous that sparks a visual idea like in my featuring art. It has the own history and emotion too.
What would you do with $25,000?If I win $25,000, I’d start an art school for children with autism. Art helps them express emotions, develop skills, and connect with the world in unique ways. This money would be a perfect first step - renting a small space, buying supplies, and creating a safe, sensory-friendly environment where every child can freely create.
