Where do you find inspiration?My source of inspiration is my inner world. I don't paint what I see, but what I feel. My mood guides my hand, sometimes the brushstroke is energetic and vibrant, sometimes it is soft and reflective. Each work is a time capsule of my feelings at that moment, which makes each piece unique and unrepeatable. But the heart of my creativity beats thanks to my mom's support. She believed in my talent when I was only five years old and put a brush on my hand for the first time
