We are not very rich as a country in artistic history but that is not what i needed as an individual to fall in love with paints, brushes and canvas. All i needed was to cover the space with colors and see that vision in my mind coming to life. I didnt feel the need for anyone to approve of the vision because the world is boring with the same vision anyways. So at 19 i stopped playing around with what i loved and started teaching myself how to become professional and during my first ever lockdown in 2019 i took time to learn how to paint like me and not like anybody.

The pot always symbolizes things we cant see but exists. Faces are deceiving so i chose to cover them and channel my energy to discovering whats inside without accepting what they show on the outside. But not all my paintings are covered on their heads since i chose to have a concept that changes with time and story.
But one thing you wont miss in my style are the lines because for me this is figuring things out. Life is a jungle that im always learning a way out. So i follow the thickness of the rough strokes on the canvas for a bigger purpose not for decoration.

Its now 8 years painting and still growing into this unending discovery.
