“My work explores proving a point, telling a story, taking a stand and depicting a particular situation within our society. As an aspiring and self-taught artist, I try my best to think out of the box and create works that can speak my heart to the masses.
My experience and knowledge of relevant issues allow me to capture my ideas and recreate them on canvas. I create my art using mixed media on canvas or paper with a main focus on acrylics and drawings. I usually do not have any limitations on materials to be used but improvise during my creative process as I immerse deeply into my concept. My works are usually abstracts and expressionism but tend to move to different techniques depending on the work. As a seasoned writer, I sometimes include my writings and poetry into my art.”
