An abstract pop aesthetic, characterized by its interplay with graffiti, vibrant colors, and recognizable subjects.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspirations truly come from everywhere, from the ordinary moments of daily life to unexpected sights or thoughts that spontaneously arise. These are the instances when an idea simply pops into my mind, and I feel a compelling need to act upon it.
What would you do with $25,000?Currently, I apply my artwork to merchandise such as shirts and bags. I am considering opening my own store, as I do not frequently sell paintings. My intention is to launch my own art-meets-fashion line under my name. Therefore, I would like to establish my own gallery/boutique, focusing on more affordable merchandise. Ultimately, I aspire to open multiple stores nationwide, featuring new series of paintings on the merchandise.
