I love creating realistic imagery through a blend of mixed media, where traditional and contemporary techniques overlap to bring subjects to life with depth and texture. My work often layers drawing, painting, and experimental materials to capture detail and emotion in a tactile way. I’m drawn to iconic visual storytelling, especially figures and moments that feel timeless, using contrast, texture, and precision to make each piece feel both grounded and alive.
Where do you find inspiration?I believe a piece of who you are goes into everything you create, shaped by your life experiences. For me, inspiration comes from other artists, musicians, architects, graffiti artists, and from Mother Nature herself, from life in all its forms.
What would you do with $25,000?I would travel with my family and get more art supplies!
