I’m not the most creative person in the world, but I like to express my emotions, feelings and visions through art. I wish I could devote more time to art, and to developing my artistic abilities, still every time I create something I give it everything I have. It’s a way of letting out the good and the bad inside me in a positive way.

“Every head is a new world,” is what my mom says. I believe that even the smallest piece of art can tell a million different stories. Part of the reason behind this is the amazing ability of humans to interpret what we have in front of us in different ways. The artist might have his/her own interpretation of his/her piece, but people looking at it might or might not see the same thing.

We learn through the sharing of our stories, and art is the best way to share those stories with others. Every individual has their own story to share and I want to share mine through my drawings and paintings.
