My favorite created artwork is where I see humanity grow through the messages they see, feel, and absorb. The kind that communicates truths that unite us, awaken the light within us, and inspire transcendence for generations to come. I love applying environmentally friendly textures and forms of paint that give intention to create an emotional, physical, and mental healing response. And also beauty and wisdom with light, and all forms that can carry that message forward without words.

I am deeply moved by the idea that all existence is connected through a higher, evolving energy that inspires reflection and human connection, as seen in Michael Benisty’s work. I am also influenced by the symbolism and mastery of detail of the Early Northern Renaissance, the emotional color and atmosphere of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. Cubism’s vision of reality through multiple perspectives at once. Artists like J Van Eyck, Jose Salazar, Degas, J. Turrell, P. Prud’hon, Sandra Ramos.

I will invest it in the Birth of Aurora Designs Foundation, currently in development, whose mission is to uplift low-income communities, educational institutions, and struggling or emerging small businesses through transformative public art, empowering murals, and immersive spaces that inspire connection and belonging. Through neighborhood beautification, creativity, education, and meaningful collaborative projects, the foundation aims to foster both artistic excellence and human development.
