What is your favorite type of art to create?

I have a deep passion for creating mixed media art, a form of expression that allows me to combine different textures, materials, and techniques to create something unique and meaningful. What draws me most to mixed media is the freedom it offers. There are no strict limitations—paint can meet paper, ink can blend with fabric, and layers can build unexpected depth and emotion. This flexibility allows me to experiment intuitively and discover new possibilities within each piece I create.

Where do you find inspiration?

I often find inspiration in nature and my surroundings, observing small details, shifting light, and organic forms that spark new ideas. These moments influence not only the visual aspects of my work but also the emotions behind it. I find myself drawn to conceptual art, using my practice as a way to explore and express internal experiences. Much of my work is rooted in translating feelings into something visually striking, creating pieces that resonate on both an emotional and aesthetic level.

What would you do with $25,000?

If I were given $25,000, I would approach it with both intention and balance by using a portion to start my own business while setting aside savings for security and future growth. To me, this amount of money represents an opportunity—not just to spend, but to create something sustainable and meaningful. Starting my own business would be my first priority. I would invest in building something aligned with my skills and passions, particularly in creative work such as mixed media art.
