: 1. What is your favorite type of art to create? I create interdisciplinary works that merge painting, printmaking, and experimental media. My practice explores the relationship between sound and color, translating inner emotional states into layered visual forms. I’m especially drawn to mixed media, where textures, gestures, and rhythm interact to build immersive, sensory experiences.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the invisible—inner emotions, memory, and the rhythm of sound. Music, especially piano, plays a central role in my process, guiding movement and color. I’m also inspired by microscopic forms, nature, and moments of quiet observation, where unseen structures and energies reveal themselves visually.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest in developing a multidisciplinary body of work that integrates painting, sound, and installation. This includes acquiring specialized materials, expanding my studio practice, and producing an immersive project. Part of the fund would support exhibiting the work internationally and creating educational workshops to share my process with others.
