Artist Statement
Throughout my life, I have focused on improving my artistic skills. Art holds a profound significance in my life, rooted in the influence of my father, who served as a guiding light and role model. Introduced to me at an early age, art became a cherished bond between us, instilling within me a deep appreciation for its transformative power. My artistic endeavor is driven by a desire to inspire creativity in future generations. Through my work, I aim to evoke a sense of wonder and playfulness while encouraging individuals of all ages to engage with art meaningfully. As we continue to struggle with artificial intelligence, I feel like it's our responsibility as creatives to work our hardest. My process always involves exploring new technology and integrating new techniques into my workflow. I adore combining both 3D and 2D aspects of my work. I always enjoy finding new ways to make my work look unique and inviting. Despite feeling overwhelmed by the multitude of programs and mediums available, I dive head-first into the unfamiliar.
