What is your favorite type of art to create?

I am passionate about creating expressive realism & abstract realism with mixed media. I find joy in combining textures and techniques to bring my visions to life. My inspirations are diverse, spiritual scenes, majestic animals, beautiful women, innocent children, and the serenity of nature. These elements allow me to convey emotions and tell stories that resonate with others. The fusion of realism & abstraction, let’s me explore the beauty and essence of my subjects in a unique way.

Where do you find inspiration?

Inspiration is literally everywhere for me! I find it in my dreams, the beauty of nature, a compelling movie or a TV show, or even a striking photo. life‘s moments, big and small,spark ideas and influence my art.

What would you do with $25,000?

If I had 25,000 I’d tackle my debt upgrade my studio space and invest in promoting my artwork to reach more people. It’d be a game changer from my creative journey!?
