Art is everything to me. It saved me; it is my passion, my fire, my therapy. Through painting, I release my being, my dreams, my experiences

I paint with watercolor, acrylic paint, spray paint, digital art, and I also do tattoos. I don’t limit myself to one medium; I am always exploring new techniques and forms of expression , My art is a constant quest for freedom and experimentation
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in every moment of my life , my art comes from what I feel, from my experiences, from what I observe in the street, in urban art, in culture, in my memories and my present. Sometimes I take references, but most often it is my intuition that guides me. I express with honesty everything I live, everything I imagine, and that freedom is what allows me to create without limits, this is how my art becomes an authentic extension of myself
What would you do with $25,000?I want to take my art to the next level. I will invest in a camera and a computer because I want to create visual content with my art. I will develop a larger collection, organize a full exhibition, launch a clothing line, and also explore jewelry and sculpture. I want to create a space where immigrant artists and those from the LGBTQ+ community can exhibit, fostering opportunities and an inclusive community. In this way, my art becomes a bridge of expression, support, and freedom
