i create art to show more than whats on the surface. I believe any form of art connects people on a deeper more fulfilling level.

I’ve been easing into photo realism. I’m currently working on a photo i got of A$AP Rocky from his Sundress music video. I use oil paints for all my work. Perfecting portraits is my goal but nature pieces are my favorite. I love painting anything I feel inspired to even if its my first time trying that certain style.
Where do you find inspiration?Nature is a big inspiration for me i feel like you cant go wrong painting your favorite sunset or flower. Not to mention I love the beach and tropical water. I wanted to further my skills which is where i got the inspiration to paint a picture of A$ASP Rocky. It’s been going well and I’m even more excited to see how many more familiar faces i can recreate.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use it to further my artistic skills. That could include taking a class from an artist I admire or buying more materials that i’ll need when school starts.
