It started very young as a form of escapism. Now I pour my soul into it. Painting, drawing, anything. As long as I create, I'm happy.

It’s hard to choose just one, but I tend to gravitate toward acrylic painting, followed closely by pencil work and cosplay/prop making. My style is fluid and constantly evolving—I’ve never confined myself to a single category. Instead, I create intuitively, using whatever materials I have on hand, which often leads to something entirely new each time.
Where do you find inspiration?Music is my primary source of inspiration. Specific songs, textures, and voices evoke vivid emotional landscapes that I translate into visual form. I often find myself building entire worlds from a soundscape—shaped by feeling, atmosphere, and interpretation.
What would you do with $25,000?It would help me pay off debts, allowing me more free time to feed my creative endeavors, which also translates to my career as a tattoo artist.
