I create art to find the real me and heal broken feelings. Every piece is a step toward recovery and discovering who I truly am.

My favorite art to create is painting with acrylics and oils, focusing on both abstract and still life. I use acrylics when I want to work with bold, vibrant energy and oils when I want to achieve deep richness and detail. Creating abstract art is where I truly find myself, as it allows me to express my feelings to others in a way words cannot. I also love still life for the way it lets me capture the physical world, creating a balance between my inner emotions and external reality.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration comes from the connection between my inner world and the beauty of everyday life. For my abstract paintings, I am inspired by my own journey and feelings, using the canvas to express who I truly am. For my still life work, I find inspiration in the way light and shadow transform simple, physical objects. Whether I am using the richness of oils or the vibrancy of acrylics, I am motivated to create a sanctuary where my emotions can finally be seen and shared with others.
What would you do with $25,000?Winning $25,000 would be a life-changing way to invest in my art and healing. I would use the funds to set up a dedicated studio space, a true sanctuary for my abstract and still life work. I would also invest in professional-grade oils and acrylics to elevate my technique and work on a larger scale. My goal is to host an exhibition to share my journey of self-discovery, using my paintings to connect with others and show how art can help us express our feelings and find our true selves.
