What is your favorite type of art to create?

I love creating art that challenges me and pushes me to think differently. My work ranges from pop art, nostalgic pieces, abstract art, and murals to experimental sculptures made from materials like clay, wood, metal, foam, and resin. I also create Judaica-inspired series that allow me to tap into my roots and bring deeper meaning into my work. I’m always excited by experimenting with new techniques and turning ideas into something real, unexpected, and alive.

Where do you find inspiration?

I find inspiration in everyday life — from people, music, plants, fruits, vegetables, textures, and simple moments most overlook. My roots, culture, and upbringing deeply influence my work and the way I see the world. My father taught me from a young age to appreciate every creation and find beauty and meaning in the smallest details, and that perspective continues to inspire everything I make and do.

What would you do with $25,000?

First, I would set aside 10% for charity, tithing, and helping friends or family in need. With the rest, I would reinvest into my Los Angeles art collective, MTLE (More Talent Less Ego), a community of 32 artists that I’m grateful to be a part of building. My focus would be on continuing to supporting the artists, and creating more opportunities, and continuing to grow something that’s rooted in collaboration, humility, and shared creativity.
