My favorite type of art to create is surrealistic art because it has inspired me to develop more of my imagination and makes me paint things out of this world that can’t be seen with your eyes. Theres this beauty behind surrealism that I don't quite yet understand but that is why is my favorite. Is the formula, the way that you have to go through a process that leads you to a point of creativity allowing you to create a world massively different from our own. Is very fascinating to me.
Where do you find inspiration?Im a visual learner so I mostly find inspiration in films, looking at them makes me feel some type of way so I try to portray that same feeling into my art. Is translating films into paintings. Another thing I get inspired is by my own life experiences and poetry those two hugely influence in my art as well. I write becuase I feel things that has happened in my life and so after writing i create this visual concept that has transformed into paintings.
What would you do with $25,000?Im really a true student of the game and I have been doing art since I could remember. Art is my everything. something I would definitely do with this money is to support myself in the art field, I'm currently in college majoring in Fine Arts and as an artist having a studio to create art is really life changing. Also having the ability to create without financial limitation is very incredible, so I would go for to create bigger things that can put me in a position of bigger opportunities.
