I'm a self-taught artist. I started drawing at a very young age. I love listening to classic psychedelic rock, I'm pretty much into the 1960s and 70s things.

I would say my inspiration for my art is mostly from the songs I listen to, sometimes from my dreams or just random things I'd like to imagine, like, what if people have 4 eyes or if their skin is colour pink or blue?

Weird and flamboyant

Just like any normal artist I know, I didn't really think that being an artist could be a serious career. Most people would always say that "there is no money in art" or "it's only for the elites". So I wasn't really sure if I wanted to pursue this career back then. I come from a family of artists and I feel like I was just born into it, although no one really pushed me to become one, I just became one. Making art is my great passion but I also feel that if I do this for a living where people would expect a lot of things from me and take away my creative freedom, I guess it's not going to be healthy for me.
