I create our to express the feelings and experiences. I’ve never been able to put in the words. It’s a self reflection of my deeper thoughts

My favorite type of art to create is abstract painting I love the raw form of catching a emotion, and I see it as like a snapshot of energy and movement when I look at paint splatters specifically, which is my favorite part to add at the end.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in my childhood I find inspiration in my trauma I think music and the visual aesthetic of movies of my past time of their early 2090s have also helped give a glamour filter to those things. I’m very proud that my imagination has never slowed down. I feel like a child so those are the places I look for is my inner child. Another place I look is in my trauma and how my human experience can be explained when I can’t find the words.
What would you do with $25,000?If I won the $25,000 I would use it towards the opportunity to make my art something that can carry on generationally. It will allow me to take care of myself and blossom my creativity and what I bring to the table to the next level to share with others, and to build up my community.
