I love creating symbolic paintings and visual worlds where image, language, memory, and spirit meet. My favorite art is not only seen — it is entered. Each work becomes a gate: a place where pain transforms into color, silence becomes form, and the viewer remembers something ancient inside themselves.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the human heart, in ancestral memory, in children, in rupture, in faith, and in the invisible signals that pass between people. I am inspired by those who were never fully seen, by the future asking to be born, and by the sacred moment when art turns suffering into light.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use $25,000 to build a stronger living archive for my work: creating new paintings, documenting the story behind them, publishing the message, and opening access for more people to witness it. The money would not be an ending — it would become fuel for transmission, education, and a new artistic world rooted in memory, healing, and light.
