What is your favorite type of art to create?

I love making oil paintings the most, along with digital works.

Where do you find inspiration?

I believe that the greatest artists are the ones who can effectively observe, invent, and sensitize. I mean looking at the world around us, and deciding what type of message you want to communicate with your work, then going into the project with the intention of making something interesting to look, think and talk about. Letting yourself have fun and create carefree art is also important to me.when it comes to working alone, I love having organized chaos.

What would you do with $25,000?

I would use $25,000 to help complete my degree in Art History and Art education. I want to use these degrees to create a program that teaches the relationship between art, history and politics.
