I have always found the differences in art, culture, and architecture in other countries fascinating. My travels have opened my eyes and influenced me so much that art became my focus of study. Seeing the world through an artist's eye was captivating, from paintings to sculptures, to fashion and architecture. Visiting museums, observing the mastery of a painter’s brush behind each stroke, and the visual breakdown of our world’s detailed beauty and complexity found in the littlest of things. Art inspires me, at the same time, it allows me to submerge myself into a magical world of thought, pristine beauty and admiration for details. A simple idea can develop into different processes to produce a group of artworks that not only express my emotions but also, how I am affected by the world around me. Art became not only my passion but also my emotional outlet. Art has helped me to cope and overcome hardships and challenges through creative approaches to healing through visual arts. I was overwhelmed by the challenges that attention deficit disorder imposed on me and I found relief through artistic and musical expression. Creating art and music for myself, or neuroaesthetic experiences formed a big part of my life, and it was fundamental to my health, well-being and learning. It has enriched my life in many ways, allowing me to overcome my struggles and improve my quality of life. Through my art I can represent works that influence others positively and give a sense of joy, escape from reality, peace, and a sense of wonder, hoping they will be impacted and be able to overcome insecurity, fear, nervousness, and anxiety.
