Inspiration

My artistic journey has always been influenced by my love for skateboarding, music, movies, and photography. Combining these passions with my work as a craftsman just felt natural. My artistic style developed organically from blending these different influences, creating a unique and versatile artistic vision.

The inspiration for my artwork comes from my exploration of color and form. I’ve also drawn a lot of inspiration from my personal growth, my passion for success and challenges, and the desire to express myself without self-criticism.

Self-taught with experience from several major exhibitions

Now that I've become a part of the artist arena, this fall will feature an exhibition.

Playful, energetic, dynamic. There are no rights or wrongs—I just go for it. My round circles have become a signature, and many people say they even see silhouettes of female bodies. It's all open to interpretation. At the moment, I mostly paint, but I am also very proud of my sculptures.

As an abstract artist, my process is intuitive and spontaneous. I start by selecting a color that resonates with me and placing it on the canvas. Often, I close my eyes, letting go of control, and allow the paint to find its own path. Then, I grab new colors, layering them without hesitation, letting them flow and merge as they wish.

My approach isn't confined to brushes alone. I bring in spray cans, crayons, charcoal, and other materials, embracing the unpredictability they offer. It's all about letting the materials lead the way, creating something raw, authentic, and open to interpretation.
