For more than 15 years, I've been honing my skills as a painter. It all began when I was a college student in search of affordable art for my apartment. Unable to find anything within my budget, I decided to create my own piece using just paint, brushes, and a cheap canvas. To my surprise, my first attempt was deemed “really cool” and I realized I had discovered a passion for art.

Since then, I have experimented with a range of mediums and techniques but have found that oils and acrylics best suit my style. My favorite subject to paint is stylized portraits, capturing a person's essence by using color and surroundings to reflect their personality and emotions.

Painting has become my creative outlet, providing comfort during tough times and a way to express joy. It's taken me on incredible journeys, from art shows to rooms filled with musicians and fellow artists. I feel that being an artist is an intrinsic part of who I am and cannot imagine my life without it – it's truly something that's ingrained in my heart and soul.

Although I used to be afraid of sharing my work, I've come to realize that art comes in many styles and forms, and as long as you love the creative process, you are an artist. I believe that everything in this world is art, and I find great satisfaction in creating pieces that are meaningful and personal to myself and others.

If you're interested in capturing your dearest memories or exploring the way you see yourself through a stylized portrait, or if you're looking to brighten up your living space with a beautiful floral piece that holds a special meaning for you, let's collaborate and bring your vision to life.
