Because when I'm creating, it's the most intense and real moment of happiness I've ever felt.

It's very difficult to choose; I love playing guitar and singing, but I also love getting lost in front of an old painting or a piece of cardboard with my paints and creating abstract art, or letting my thoughts flow and painting broken letters... impossible to choose just one.
Where do you find inspiration?When I first heard Hotel California at age 13, I felt a tingle and found my inspiration in music, then skateboarding, tattoos, loneliness; I found my inspiration to express with paint what flows from within me.
What would you do with $25,000?I'm starting my clothing line, my abstract art; I would definitely invest in my art so I can continue creating.
