Artist Statement
“My lifetime goal is to explore people’s minds, as I’m always searching for them.
As an artist I intend to challenge people to think, by doing the right, how and why, as I believe our mind is the only thing that is real, is the propulsor of individual life, the creator behind our identity, and our reality.
The way the thoughts come out I can’t control, there is no thinking too much on the way to showcase them, just the only approach for me.
I don’t do it for others, I only do it, for me it helps with the mind and soul, to achieve the goal of living, and maybe will help others in the goal of listening.
The mediums I make use of are just tools for a message to be passed on to other minds that will see what their eyes will only see since there is no one the same, everything and the same thing will always be different.
Reality is only real for those who see it, and a crazy will always be crazy before it becomes successful in the eyes of the majority.
The intention of words is only to be intended as good, as the good and bad are perspectives, the intention will also follow that perspective and words won’t have the meaning they should.
To be continued…”

Motto
"Everything we carry in this life accompanies us, not only individually but also impacts those around us— the people we interact with daily, those with whom we share our journey. We are all part of the same existence, made of the same matter, and simultaneously, we hold significance for others."
