I create art to release emotion and turn raw energy into something others can feel and see themselves in.

I love creating expressionist portraits using acrylic paint. I focus on capturing the essence of my subject rather than exact features, using raw shapes, marks, and symbols to build emotion and story. My work is less about how someone looks and more about how they feel, turning each piece into an experience that people can connect with on a deeper level.

What would you do with $25,000?With $25,000, I’d build Proby Studios into a real world where my art, music, and stories all connect. My paintings act as covers for my songs, all part of the Proby Universe. I’m creating a graphic novel album and immersive experiences. This would help me bring the first volume to life and create spaces that make people feel something and realize they can create too.
