I create because that’s what keeps me alive. If I didn’t create I wouldn’t know who I will be. Art is my way I express and see who I am!

Surrealism and automatism
Where do you find inspiration?Everywhere and in the different people I meet everyday. I compose life experiences from different people with a set of questions from people I meet daily and find the common ground between us all. Some may be radical and some people are passive. I use the knowledge of both parties to come with my own thesis of what I am creating.
What would you do with $25,000?I want to build a space for young black artist or artist in general who don’t know where to go to express themselves and give the future an outlet to thrive emotionally through art.
