I

Artist's statement

I make art that shows my journey of discovering myself and going beyond. I've always been curious about how things come to be, existing as pure energy in another world.

Nature inspires me a lot. Things like flowers, earth, water, fire, and wind are like everyday mysteries that make me want to create. In my paintings, I use a lot of movement and energy to express myself.

I also meditate and sing peaceful Buddhist songs called mantras. It helps me let go of my ego and create freely. Painting is like a safe place for my emotions, and every brushstroke is guided by how I feel. My art is a way to show my inner search for a better version of myself.
