In stillness she carries sorrow, yet a rising sun and one diamond tear hold hope, light slowly overcoming darkness, promising peace.

My favorite art to create is modern geometric, line-based work. It may look minimal, but it carries deeper emotion. I’m drawn to themes of duality, light and dark, calm and chaos. I create intuitively, letting forms guide me. For me, it’s not just visual, it’s about creating something people can feel and connect with in their own way.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in culture, people, and real emotions. A lot of my work comes from my own life and experiences, the things I’ve felt, seen, and gone through. I’m drawn to human energy and the unspoken side of emotions, and I translate those feelings into lines, shapes, and forms.
What would you do with $25,000?I’d invest it into creating a full-scale body of work that pushes my style further. I’d also use it to produce a curated exhibition that brings people into the world I’m building, not just individual pieces. Beyond that, I’d document the entire process and share it, turning it into something bigger than just art, an experience people can connect with.
