I love creating art because it’s my way to communicate with the world around me and my inner self.

My favorite type of art to create is the one that can communicate to people, the one that makes them feel something while looking at it, one that can reflect the world we live in. I try to include a storytelling in my work, I think that’s what makes it so interesting and impactful.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the world and people around me. There is just so much around us and people rarely notice it, and I love to turn their attention to it.
What would you do with $25,000?These money would give me the necessary time, a time and a space where I don’t have to worry too much about finances and just create what I want to. They would also help me pay for some of my art school bills as well.
