My favorite art to create is figurative expressionism using mixed media. I love blending the grit of charcoal with the fluidity of oil paint to capture raw human emotion. To me, art is about "visual storytelling"—finding beauty in the unconventional and the overlooked. I focus on bold, gestural strokes and textured layers to turn private vulnerability into a visceral, shared connection. I aim to create work that feels honest, unrefined, and deeply rooted in the human experience.
