Connect What is your favorite type of art to create?

I have always been drawn to the concept of "accessible art," so I typically focus my work where the greatest number of people can be found—which, at the moment, means the internet and computer graphics. However, I have always loved combining various techniques and art forms into a single cohesive piece; for instance, I created a small interactive painting where viewers can interact with objects to uncover the lore behind my art and discover hidden meanings. much like cinema, but interactive!

Where do you find inspiration?

Everywhere. I often joke that my first language is actually forms and visual images—which I then translate into words, only to have to translate those into English before I can actually speak them. So, it is much easier for me to express my thoughts through images, however strange that might seem... In fact, that is the main reason why I am not particularly talkative—unless the conversation happens to be about art or God.

What would you do with $25,000?

I would send my parents on vacation to some beautiful place where they could have a wonderful time and truly relax? massage and stuff like that. With the remaining funds, I would try to organize a course where I could teach and demonstrate to people how to express their repressed emotions through art. Mental health and art are profoundly important—and deeply intertwined—concepts, especially in our current era of information overload. One way or another, thank you for this opportunity.
