I LOVE to great art because I think it’s a way for expressing feelings, reality, and things that are difficult to express verbally.

Visual art is my favorite type of art because it expresses ideas and emotions without using words. A painting or drawing can create an instant feeling through color, shape, and composition. I like that everyone can interpret visual art differently, making it personal and meaningful. I also enjoy creating art because it helps me express my thoughts in a creative way. Overall, visual art connects people across cultures and allows for limitless expression.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the world around me—in nature, everyday life, and the emotions people experience. Even the smallest details, things most people might not notice, can inspire me. I try to turn those moments into art to show their meaning and importance. Through my work, I aim to capture what is often overlooked and share it with others in a way that makes them see it differently.
What would you do with $25,000?If I were given $25,000, I would use it to support my college education while continuing to grow as an artist. I would invest in materials and opportunities to develop my skills. At the same time, I would set aside part of the money to help people in need, such as those without stable housing. Giving back is important to me, and I see it as connected to art—both are ways of expressing humanity and making an impact.
