It makes me calm. When I paint it's some kind of meditation, zero thoughts in my head. Im totally in the process.

I draw women. In all their diversity. I like to show what hidden inside of us, all, dark and light sides. I show the way to the soul through my paintings.
Where do you find inspiration?I find it In myself. In the women around me. In fears. In misunderstandings and non-perceptions. In uniqueness, in those who are not understood. I love to immerse in myself, in my disorders, in my personalities, each of which wants to be heard.
What would you do with $25,000?I want to invest it in my art businesses. I want to open an art space. Not just a gallery. An intimate space with a deeply personal approach to each visitor. A place where my paintings will be shown—and, in the future, the works of other artists as well. A place where, in quiet and a carefully curated atmosphere, people can immerse themselves in my silent beings, who gaze at them from the canvases and engage in a wordless dialogue.
