Because I have to.. The pleasure it gives me, the way I can express myself through art, the way it supports me when I am stressed out..

Currently, I am drawn to liminal spaces, twilight, night and early morning colors and the feeling of melancholy it offers. I am working on night series and twilight series in oils. Trying to bring the silence that speaks to the viewer.
Where do you find inspiration?My surroundings, my city, my rooftop and sometimes roads and beaches. Almost everywhere.. when I started to see differently, I find inspiration in everything literally. I observe skies, waters, trees, moon and the sun.
What would you do with $25,000?I will divide it in three equal parts. 1: Will buy enough paints and canvases that I can paint for almost 15 years without worrying. 2: Keep this part for my family. 3: Use this part for charity.
