Publications

My work is shaped by a lifelong drive to create and a deep connection to storytelling. From childhood, I felt an urgency to express myself - sometimes through writing, sometimes through drawing or collaging - and even before I understood it, creativity was always my language. My paintings, assemblages, and collages map the experiences, emotions, and reflections that have molded my life.

Bob Ross was one of my earliest inspirations; watching him paint on TV and realizing that creating art could be a way of life lit a spark in me that never faded. Today, my life's work lies in storytelling through color, texture, and form - acknowledging life's hardships while highlighting the resilience and hope that guide us forward.

Reading is one of my greatest sources of inspiration. The rhythm and arrangement of words often spark ideas for titles, which then evolve into full visual concepts. In every piece, I aim to capture the narratives - both quiet and bold - that define the human experience.
