Art is how I express emotions beyond words, transforming pain, anxiety, and complex feelings into form through painting and architecture.

My favorite type of art to create is oil painting. My work explores diverse themes through series-based projects, often depicting human struggle, isolation, depression, and psychological states through liminal spaces and scenes.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration primarily in my own emotions and mental struggles, which often become the foundation of my work. I also draw inspiration from artists who explore similar themes, studying how they translate pain, psychology, and human experience into painting.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use the $25,000 to help support my MFA studies in Painting and Drawing. It would go toward tuition and essential academic expenses, allowing me to fully focus on developing my practice, expanding my skills, and growing as an artist without financial barriers.
