I create art as a form of expression when my words aren’t able to communicate them. To express emotions and thoughts through my art.

My favorite types of art to create are mixed media and interactive sculpture. I value work that can be physically experienced, not just seen. While I respect digital art, there is something different about being able to touch and feel a piece, to connect with the emotion embedded in it. Interactive work allows viewers to step into the piece and experience it through their own perspective, fostering a deeper and more personal connection.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration inside myself, in my experiences, and in the people and world around me. Both past and present moments influence my work. I am also inspired by artists like Michelangelo, da Vinci, and Van Gogh, not to copy their work, but to reach the same level of emotional depth and meaning. I aim to create pieces that let others feel something real and connect in a way that words alone can't.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest in my education as I pursue a doctorate in psychology, aiming to combine art and healing. Art has been a significant outlet for me, and I want to create spaces where others can express and process their experiences. I would also allocate part of it to support my mom, who has played a key role in guiding me along this path. This opportunity would help me turn purpose into impact.
