Connect What is your favorite type of art to create?

It’s less about the category, it's more about creating art you can feel before you understand. More than a type, I’m devoted to create pieces that feel immersive where you don’t just look at the painting, you enter it. Each series of my work becomes a space where different parts of myself and life can coexist: the raw, the fragile, the vibrant, the hidden. I build each piece through successive layers, allowing forms to surface organically. It mirrors how we are never just one thing...

Where do you find inspiration?

From emotions, memories, and the invisible layers of life we don’t always express. I’m drawn to contrasts, light and shadow, tension and release. Fragments of life that don’t necessarily have words, but stay present. My past, my journey, the feeling of searching, of transforming. All of that feeds my work.

What would you do with $25,000?

I want to use it to create without limitation, to go bigger and deeper to share it in a way that reaches the people who are meant to feel it. I also want to dedicate part of it to creating spaces and moments where art can support people emotionally for those who need it the most. I deeply believe that art can help process, heal, and reconnect us to something essential. For me, it’s about growing as an artist and it’s about allowing the work to have a real impact.
