I deeply in love in dark mystical forest. I paint in a style that will keep you in this spot between “oh, it’s panting” and “it’s so…. Immersive”. I don’t paint in realism because I don’t think art (oil especially) was created to copy the world. It was created to show something out of the world. I paint nature that holds a history of human creation. Believe it or not. Answering your question: my favorite type of art to create is deep, meaningful, the one that imprints your soul.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the restlessness of the northern ocean. Rain forest in Washington. Sometimes in personal lyrical state of drama. The souls keeps memories that start getting more noticeable in the moments like this.
What would you do with $25,000?I want to be honest with you: I applied because I wanted to see if my voice and vision can take a big step like this. And it did, very grateful. I will take some money to take another trip to Washington and just sit for hours on La push beach. Life is for moments like this, don’t you think? And I would keep money to have a chance do it each year on my birthday. Get more inspiration so I have something to share with humanity through my art. Thank you.
