Im drawn to creating works that feature doughnut-shaped orbs as symbols of energy, exploring their interaction with both figurative and abstract forms. I am particularly passionate about depicting strong, warrior-like female figures that embody empowerment, inspiring confidence and a sense of possibility.
Where do you find inspiration?The inspiration comes from various sources, personal experiences, observations, emotions and the way I interpret the world around me. Each encounter, memory and feeling leaves an imprint that naturally finds its way into the creative process. It’s shaped by both my inner world and the environment surrounding me. I often listen to a range of musical genres while I paint, allowing the rhythm and mood to guide my creative flow.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest in a larger studio/gallery space that allows me to fully focus on my painting practice. Having the room to create would enable me to dedicate more time and energy to developing a cohesive body of work and preparing for an exhibition centered on a new collection inspired by this experience. Proceeds from the exhibition will be donated to support #CancerResearch.
