Meet the Artist

Hello! Art has been a significant part of my life since I was three years old, with drawing being a constant yet intermittent passion. In my twenties, I expanded my creative pursuits to include painting. Despite my love for art, I hesitated to fully commit to it earlier in life, partly due to the fear of the “starving artist” stereotype.

This year, I graduated in Construction Engineering. It was only after completing my degree that I decided to fully embrace my artistic side. Prior to this, I studied architecture but did not finish the program.

Now, I fully commit to my art. When I’m not working, you’ll often find me painting, accompanied by my favorite podcasts or music. Art allows me to express myself and find relaxation, providing a balance to my professional life. My goal is to gradually transition from my 9-5 job to becoming a full-time artist.
