I have always loved creating art. I was passionate about miniature painting for many years, but in recent years I’ve been drawn to abstract art. Working with acrylics allows me to express emotions more freely and intuitively.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration flows from my mind, shaped by my imagination, and at times illuminated by the beauty of nature.
What would you do with $25,000?Sometimes I think about having a space where I can teach painting to children. Since this prize also comes from art, I might set it aside and invest in such a creative space in the future.
