My art delves into themes of identity and emotional experiences through a variety of mediums. I am captivated by the vast range of emotions conveyed through facial expressions and body language. As I observe the people around me, I am intrigued by their stories, hopes, worries, and complexities, which inspire much of my work. My brush strokes, charcoal marks, and color choices strive to capture the essence of these emotions. I place great emphasis on color, using it to convey feelings and evoke sensations that words cannot express.
My creative process involves working with various mediums such as oil and acrylic paints, pastels, and charcoal. I find inspiration in music, listening to people's stories, and observing nature. For me, art is not only a means of self-expression but also a way to connect emotionally with the wider community.
