I create art to transform spaces, heal, and connect people, turning emotion into something visible, touchable, and shared.

My favorite is large-scale murals and immersive spaces. I like transforming environments—turning empty walls into something alive, emotional, and connected to nature. I also enjoy creating interactive pieces, like mirrors or installations, where people become part of the artwork.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in travel, nature, and people. New places, the ocean, trees, and light shape my visual language. I’m also inspired by human connection—moments, emotions, and stories I witness. Most of all, I’m driven by how art can transform a space and make people feel something real.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest it into developing my Cocoon project—creating an immersive space about transformation, where people move from darkness into light through art, mirrors, and soft installations. I’d also put part of it into my cartoon project—building visuals, storyboards, and a short pilot to bring the world and characters to life.
