My art is a reflection of the life I’ve lived—the experiences, emotions, and connections that have shaped me along the way. Every piece comes from something that caught my attention, stirred my curiosity, or simply brought me joy.

Creating is an act of exploration for me. I like to experiment with different techniques, mixing loose, expressive strokes with more deliberate, detailed ones. I welcome mistakes and imperfections—they’re part of the process and a reminder that creativity, like life, isn’t about perfection.

I find inspiration everywhere: in the people I meet, the places I visit, and the cultures I experience. I’m especially drawn to the passage of time and the stories it tells—faded walls, worn textures, and the quiet beauty of things that endure. Color is also a big part of my work. It’s powerful, able to convey emotions and capture the essence of a moment.

For me, art is about connection. It’s a way to share stories, spark conversations, and invite reflection. Each piece is like a puzzle, piecing together fragments of life into something meaningful—a celebration of the richness and complexity of it all.
