Artist Statement

“My art is a dynamic fusion of diverse influences drawn from music, pop culture, and personal experiences. I find inspiration everywhere, constantly generating ideas that excite my creative spirit. I bring my visions to life using various mediums, including pencils, paint, watercolor, and digital tools like Procreate.

Guided by the artistic legacy of my grandmother, the nostalgic charm of vintage comic books, and the evocative power of music and film, I create works that celebrate and explore themes of mortality, impermanence, and self-love. While my style tends to lean towards realism, I embrace my identity as an eclectic artist capable of skillfully imitating various art styles.

With a background in photography, I am passionate about constructing powerful compositions that convey narratives. My artistic expression defies categorization, as I intentionally avoid adhering to a specific style or theme. The driving force behind my art is simply the pure joy of creating.”
