THE ARTIST
Art Statement
In my search for purpose, I discovered my unrivaled passion for arts to express my feelings and life experiences and tell my story of self love and freedom through realistic drawings. I believe every one has similar experiences but unique stories and I choose to tell my story using my Art. My Artworks are inspired by my quest for total self love and acceptance which I believe is mans supernatural power. My Artwork seeks to defeat the enemy within, which is "ourselves"
