“For me, art is profoundly cathartic. It's a means to express and release my emotions, which is intricately linked to wellness. Through figure drawing and painting, I channel my feelings, providing a necessary outlet. Without this form of expression, I often wonder where those emotions would end up. So, in that sense, art is integral to my well-being.”

“Media is your way to communicate as an artist. Every medium, from your humble pencil all the way to acrylics, oils or watercolours, has a character. It's akin to our individual personalities. For example, I might resonate with a lead pencil, while you could connect with a fan brush. Imagine that each tool speaks a different language; mastering these languages enriches your visual vocabulary.”
