I’m especially drawn to both realism and abstract styles, since realism lets me capture details and make things look true to life, while abstract art gives me the freedom to experiment with emotions, colors, and imagination.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in everyday life, like nature, and emotions, as well as in ideas that come from real experiences, while other times they come from imagination
What would you do with $25,000?I would use part of it to help with my daughters’s college expenses, since supporting their education is very important to me. I would also set aside some money to buy art materials so I can continue growing and improving on my journey as an artist.
