Connect What is your favorite type of art to create?

I create hyper-realistic art with subtle abstract elements that challenge perception and invite curiosity. My work blends clarity with vagueness, encouraging viewers to look deeper rather than instantly understand. Whether bold and intentional or open to interpretation, I aim to create pieces that connect emotionally, where each person can find their own meaning, memories, or feelings within the same work.

Where do you find inspiration?

I find inspiration through the music I listen to. When I’m creating something rooted in a traditional style, I immerse myself in music from that same era. For more chaotic or expressive pieces, I choose music that evokes those emotions. When I genuinely connect with what I’m creating, that emotion comes through in the work, helping others feel and connect with it on a deeper level.

What would you do with $25,000?

I would use the $25,000 to create meaningful, community driven art while giving back to the organizations that keep creativity alive. I would donate a portion to Save The Music Foundation and Americans for the Arts because without art and music my life would be completely different. Art is a universal language that connects us, tells our stories, and brings people together in ways nothing else can.
