"Art is everything to me. It lives in my past, shapes my present, and guides my future. Creating is as essential as breathing, I simply can’t live without it.

My inspiration comes from my travels around the world, the people I meet, and the relationships that have shaped who I am. Each experience nourishes my artistic expression and helps me continue to grow as both an artist and a person.

Everywhere I go, I find beauty in the small details. The textures, colors, and spontaneity in the fleeting moments that surround us. These everyday inspirations flourish into the forms and wall compositions that define my work. Through art, I express my connection to the world, translating emotion and experience into something tangible and alive."
