I am sensitive, observant, intuitive, meticulous, and free-spirited.
Art is my way of life that shapes the creative spark within me. I live my life appreciating my environment, my surroundings, and the people that I associate with. I notice little details, such as how beautiful the sky is, or how much one person’s smile carries happiness and beauty. Simple things call my attention for me to analyze and observe the smallest details. I am intrigued how my observations reveal people’s emotions through their world experiences and cultural values. I want to understand people’s happiness, sufferings, hard work, and humbleness. That’s why I believe the true art form is emotions, waiting to be told to the world.
My artistic mission is to tell a story by capturing raw emotions and presenting that in a compelling art form. Whether it’s by photography, graphic design, a beautiful illustration, or even through a short video, I want to share that story to the community. I want to encourage positive actions and inspire others to better their community through the simple notion of art. I want my art to change people’s lives, whether it’s only one person or the entire world. Just like how many great individuals have inspired me, I want to be that very inspiration. My artistic characteristics are meant to lead and help people. That’s my purpose, not just an artist, but as my life’s goal.
