I love painting and I like to mix different styles such as pop art, cubism, and influences from Joan Miró, Paul Klee, Romero Britto, and Vincent van Gogh. I enjoy abstract and abstract figurative art, focusing on colors, movement, and emotion rather than realism. I also like painting landscapes like trees and waterfalls.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration comes from the creation of this world—landscapes, colors, and environments. I’m also inspired by nature, stories, and books, which often give me ideas for my paintings. Another source is artists from the past like Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, and other artists. Learning about them inspired me to develop my own style. So my inspiration comes from artists, stories, and nature.
What would you do with $25,000?I would save the money and use it strategically to continue developing my art. I would invest in materials, studies, and preparation for my future academic path and my first exhibition in the United States. I want to move carefully and be fully prepared before taking this step, making sure I build a strong foundation for my career as an artist.
