What is your favorite type of art to create?

My favorite art to create is inspirational art—stuff that hits people right away. I like mixing strong imagery with lettering, using words or phrases that stick with you. I’m drawn to creating in places that need it most—neighborhoods that don’t usually get art. For me, it’s about making something real people can connect to and feel something from

Where do you find inspiration?

I find inspiration in the streets, my family, and my culture. Being from Mexico pushes me to learn more about where I come from, and that shows up in my work. I’m also inspired by other cultures and just everyday life—plants, animals, people, textures, anything I come across. I’m always observing, taking in references, and turning that into something real

What would you do with $25,000?

If I won $25,000, first thing I’d do is take care of my family—take my parents on a trip to Hawaii and give them a break. I’d also put some of it toward dog shelters because I love dogs and want to give back. The rest I’d invest into my art—supplies, travel, and time to paint more murals, especially in communities that need it.
