Receive Text UpdatesMy favorite type of art to create is abstract expressionism. I’m drawn to its sense of freedom and openness. I love that there are no rigid rules, just instinct and movement. I genuinely enjoy how each piece evolves organically, with every gesture across the canvas creating unexpected possibilities. It’s a process that feels both intuitive and expressive, where the outcome is discovered rather than controlled.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the world immediately around me, through daily interactions, fleeting moments, and the emotions they leave behind. Those absorbed feelings naturally make their way onto the canvas, guiding the direction of each piece. Because of this, my work is constantly evolving. Each day can shift the tone, movement, and outcome. I continue working a piece until it feels complete, until there is nothing more I can add or give.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest the $25,000 into materials and production resources that enable me to scale my practice, elevate the quality of my work, and expand its visibility to a broader audience.
