My favorite type of art to create is intuitive pieces that begin with no defined form or concept, just a feeling. Each painting is guided by my intuition, trusting the process from start to finish. This approach challenges me to tap into my inner creativity and bring something entirely new into existence something the world has never seen before, including myself.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in all aspects of existence. What I observe often serves as a boundary, guiding me away from repetition and toward unexplored creative paths. I draw from my environment to channel emotions and transform them into visual expression. Each experience, interaction, and surrounding detail becomes a source of energy, pushing me to create pieces that are both authentic and evolving, rooted in feelings yet open to endless interpretation.
What would you do with $25,000?Winning $25,000 would mark the beginning of the next chapter in my art journey. I would travel to some of the world’s most inspiring museums, galleries, and studios, seeking inspiration to create a unique creative space for children one that doesn’t yet exist, but is waiting to be discovered.
