I create art because it’s where my emotions finally make sense.where I can feel, release, and exist freely without needing to explain myself

I’m drawn to expressive figurative art shaped by symbolic and geometric influences. Through layered forms, arabesque patterns, and vibrant color, I build emotional narratives that explore identity, memory, and the feminine experience. Figures become vessels of feeling, while symbols and structured shapes create rhythm, balance, and depth—bridging intuition and design in each composition.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in my emotions and inner world, where memories, intuition, and personal experiences take shape. I’m also deeply influenced by the feminine presence—its strength, vulnerability, and complexity. Patterns found in nature and geometric or arabesque forms guide my compositions, while color becomes a language to express what words cannot. Everyday moments, subtle gestures, and symbolic objects often spark the narratives I bring to life.
What would you do with $25,000?I recently moved to Canada and don’t yet have a proper studio. With $25,000, I would set up a dedicated workspace and invest in essential materials and equipment. Another part would support developing a cohesive body of work for exhibition, including documentation and presentation. I would also invest in opportunities to share my work—through exhibitions, open calls, and collaborations—to reach wider audiences and create meaningful connections.
