It’s an irrepressible, vital need. I create because I have to, to feel alive and give form to what I carry inside.

AI-driven digital art, especially moving image and animation, is at the core of my practice. I blend classical references with advanced technology to explore emotion and identity, creating immersive works that exist between past and future. My work investigates memory, presence, and transformation, where the boundaries between the human and the synthetic begin to blur, opening new spaces for perception, sensitivity, and emotional resonance.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in emotions, memory, and fragments of the past that remain vivid over time. Classical art is a constant source, not only for its aesthetics but for the way it carries meaning across generations. I am also inspired by the tension between tradition and technology, where new tools allow old ideas to transform. Often, inspiration appears in the process itself, through experimentation, where unexpected forms and narratives emerge naturally.
What would you do with $25,000?I would buy art and support artists I believe in, reinvesting directly into the community that inspires me. Building a thoughtful collection matters to me, not just as an investment but as a way to engage with different voices and visions. I see it as a cycle, where collecting helps sustain creation, encourages experimentation, and strengthens a shared ecosystem where artists can continue to grow and take risks.
