What drives you to create?

My drive to create comes from the need to express my emotions or thoughts, but also from experimenting with new things each time and discovering who I am.

What inspires you?

Everything around me inspires me: a landscape, an emotion, a deep idea, a memory — but music is my muse.

How do you bring your works to life?

My creative process starts with seeking inspiration, which can come from other people’s projects, fictional characters, music, or anything else. Then I begin jotting down ideas and sketches on my iPad, or I write them somewhere when I can’t draw at that moment. In addition to digital drawings, since I love experimenting, I also work on canvas with acrylics, on paper with pencils or markers, and I’ve recently ventured into photography.
