I create art to question history, expose hidden truths, and turn memory into something you can see, feel, and confront.

Painting is my favorite medium of expression.
Where do you find inspiration?I’m mostly influenced by history ,people and my own curiosity about history and memory
What would you do with $25,000?I would use the $25,000 to sustain my art practice and expand it through research and community engagement. It would support my studio work, allowing me time and materials to develop a new body of work focused on history and identity. I would also travel to different countries for research, studying cultural memory and artistic traditions. Part of the fund would go into hosting workshops in local communities, sharing creative skills and learning from participants.
