I love to create art that opens a door into the invisible, music shaped by silence, color shaped by emotion, and form shaped by the geometry

What is your favorite type of art to create?

Art that unites music, geometry, poetry, mathematics and create emotion into a single poetic gesture, a form where sounds becomes shape, color becomes sounds, and the visible world becomes a doorway to the unseen. It’s not painting; It’s not music; It’s not poetry. It’s the space between them; that’s where I live as an artist. As a concert pianist, I try to reunite my music into a painting.

Where do you find inspiration?

I live in Sedona, Arizona, and I find inspiration in the secret correspondences between beauty and nature, in the way a landscape reveals its inner geometry, in the silent intelligence of light, in the quiet order of the rocks. Nature is not a backdrop for me; it is a metaphysical partner. Then, the discipline comes in with hours of work and practice.

What would you do with $25,000?

I would create a multimedia project blending painting, music and geometry. I would create a small scholarship for young artists and start masterclasses and workshops. Supporting young artists means nurturing beauty, and giving the world one more light. If I can offer guidance, opportunity, or resources that help young talents, then this is the most meaningful use of my support for them, for our community, and for the future of art.
