Wherever the flow goes. I've been working with pastels and I've found it's what I'm most comfortable with in visual arts. It's the pastels I used as a kid! But I also sing and play the guitar! I've been playing my whole life and I used to sing when I was young. Only to find out 10 years later that my voice had closed from shame. I had been trying to run away from my sensibility and became a boxer until now I see that it is the most beautiful part of me. And I'm finally singing again.
Where do you find inspiration?Life itself. The journey towards myself. The road with faith, knowing I am going towards something, and that thing being the transparency of my soul. I find that art is my way there, art is my best friend and it's my transcription of this path. Art is a reminder of the truth, of the mystery. My job, is to reveal it. And in life through my sensibility I feel its energy and transcend it through the mediums that feel best.
What would you do with $25,000?Oh my god. This is life changing money. I have been blessed with a family that's from the French middle class. But I didn't listen to them, I didn't go to school. I knew I was destined for something deeper. This money would only be used for art, to listen to the bird chirping inside of me, to keep striving for this transparency and to draw on bigger and bigger spaces. This money would be a test of my faith in choosing the light and I dare it as I KNOW I must open more and share my sensibility.
