Artist Quote:
As an artist, I am often questioned about the process behind my artistic choices. The answer to this inquiry is quite simple. My art emanates from deep emotional experiences and personal connections. Inspiration can strike at any moment, be it in dreams or from the sights that captivate me during the day. I have always possessed a unique perspective, perceiving the world through a distinct lens. When encountering something that moves me, I begin envisioning how I would translate it onto canvas, contemplating the palette of colors that would best convey its essence. Painting serves as my therapy—a transient respite from reality. In those moments, nothing else holds significance; the act of creation becomes my sole focus.
