I enjoy the technicality behind different mediums. Whether it's a botanical study of a flower or a landscape, it allows me to freeze time.

I find the most joy in styles that feel organic and expressive—like loose watercolors or minimalist line drawings. There’s something fascinating about how a few simple, flowing lines can capture the entire personality of a subject. I also really enjoy the challenge of "visual storytelling." Whether it’s designing a movie poster or recreating a serene scene like a sunset over a quiet landscape, I love trying to get the lighting and the "mood" just right.
Where do you find inspiration?Nature is a classic muse for a reason. Instead of looking at a whole garden, try focusing on the structural details of a single plant—like the bell shape of a snowdrop or the intricate veins in a leaf. I like to study how light changes at sunset. The way long shadows interact with textures can provide a perfect blueprint for watercolor studies or high-contrast sketches.
