Connect What is your favorite type of art to create?

Influenced by Mannerist currents, my preferred practice is organic abstraction. I use color to reveal what is not immediately visible—what moves through reality without fixed form. Through layered, intuitive processes, I allow images to emerge from sensation rather than structure, letting painting become a space of perception and unfolding. The work becomes a field where memory, matter, and perception blur into a continuous act of seeing in quiet expansion—an unfolding presence.

Where do you find inspiration?

I find inspiration in memory and lived experience, in subtle shifts of perception, and in the quiet language of nature. Light, atmosphere, and internal states often trigger my process—not as literal references, but as forces that guide transformation. I am drawn to what resists being named, where emotion and perception dissolve into image.

What would you do with $25,000?

My art is not an end in itself, but a means. Through it, and what it may generate—including resources, recognition, and opportunities—I place it in service of a greater purpose: to reveal a deeper understanding of truth, beyond what is visible. I would use the $25,000 to sustain and expand my practice: securing time and space for creation, investing in materials and realization, and supporting its dissemination. In essence, to safeguard its continuity and give it a broader breath in the world.
