I do oil painting, sculptures, and lately I have been doing big complexed pencil drawings that tell stories about my struggles. I know pencil is a preparatory medium but I find it very interesting and suitable for the type of art I have been doing lately. I emerge my self in them.
Where do you find inspiration?I find lots of inspiration in my own life experiences the good and the bad, also in the questions that keep me up at night. I have been retrieving inward trying to understand my self lately. That and simply the act of drawing and creating is sufficient for me to find inspiration.
What would you do with $25,000?The money well I have everything I need, however it would make it a lot easier for me to keep creating art. Creating art is a very expensive hobby since it requires a lot of time and time is perhaps the most valuable thing we have. We still need to pay bills, the money would definitely keep me drawing for about a year I supposed. Donating some of it would also be something that would me be feel accomplished, it would Give my art meaning to be able to give some thing back.
