What is your favorite type of art to create?

I’m drawn to art that lives between dreams and shadows. My style is heavily influenced by the technical surrealism of Dalí and Escher, mixed with the dark, gnarled beauty of edgy, atmospheric landscapes. I love work that challenges reality through precision and mystery.

Where do you find inspiration?

I find inspiration in the fluid boundary between thought and reality. My art is a process of externalizing the surreal landscapes of my mind—letting shapes melt and shift until they find their place on a frame. It’s my way of taking the noise inside and turning it into a silent, colorful beauty that others can see and feel.

What would you do with $25,000?

I would travel and get more inspiration for my art
