I feel the most myself when I paint or sculpt.A figure already feels live before showing up on canvas and I try to catch the right gesture.

Always people - whether it’s a painting, graphic or a small sculpture. Or I would rather say human feelings, emotions, hidden thoughts, something that is not on the surface. Sometimes, doing the artwork, unintentionally I fish out some of my emotions that were not clear to me, this way every piece of art becomes a diary. I try not going too far into a surrealism because sometimes the meaning can be lost if there are too many details - I leave the important ones, like keys for an attentive eye.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in stories or emotions that I live through. Nature, unexpected colors can give me the same boost of energy as the happiest news of my life? I love colors. Also, beautiful films that touch your heart, music, a story would make me feel like every molecule inside my body moves. Fashion is a great part of where I get the inspiration for the images and here is where details can be a language that tells a story.
What would you do with $25,000?I would travel to see the most beautiful places in the world!
