I. The History

The People and Experiences That Shaped Me

My story begins long before I ever picked up a paintbrush. I grew up alongside my older brother and sister in a childhood marked by love, hardship, and uncertainty.

I often feel that I must live enough for the three of us.

Shown: Blue Yellow Pour, Orange Blue Pour, City Abstract (working names).

II. The Journey

Finding Freedom Through Art

On October 28, 2019, I began painting. I didn’t start with the intention of becoming an artist or pursuing a career. I painted because it gave me peace. It allowed me to express what I couldn’t explain and gave my mind the freedom it desperately needed.

I paint to free my mind.

III. The Story

Between Life, Loss, and the Pursuit of Meaning

One recurring symbol in my paintings is rainbow-colored rain. Rain is often associated with sadness, darkness, and difficult times. Yet rain also brings life, nourishes growth, and makes the world bloom. And when the conditions align, a rainbow emerges. To me, the two belong together.

We are defined by what we choose to do with it.

Shown: Umbrella Girl and Hoodie, with Thinker in the studio behind (working names).
