What is your favorite type of art to create?

I love surrealism. I am an interdisciplinary artist. I mainly do oil on canvas but also sculpt and do murals. Love learning and experimenting. Through abstraction and dreamlike imagery, I feel it's the best style to express my visions, ideas.

Where do you find inspiration?

Everyday life. How we feel, and see it. I feel like I wanna strip away the polished surface, and reveal something more honest underneath: tension, vulnerability, contradiction. Less about escaping reality, more about confronting it.

What would you do with $25,000?

I'd love to build a bigger art studio, to expand more into other mediums. Learn more and take on more projects
