I am a self-taught artist whose professional journey began in 2020 during the global quarantine. What started as an intense inner need to create quickly became a disciplined and purposeful artistic path. I trained every day, constantly setting new challenges for myself and pushing my technical and emotional boundaries. That year marked a turning point: at just 13 years old, my work was presented on public and regional television, featured in interviews and news outlets, and culminated in my first solo exhibition. Within a single year, my artistic practice transformed from exploration into a professional vocation. Art has been part of my life since childhood, but for a period of time I balanced it with work as a model, remaining a “half-time” artist. Eventually, I realized that modeling meant embodying and presenting other people’s ideas, while my true desire was to create and communicate my own. This understanding became decisive. I chose to pursue art as my full-time path so I could speak in my own visual language, express my thoughts, emotions, and observations, and share them authentically with the world. My practice is driven by a deep love for drawing and painting, and by the belief that art is a powerful form of communication. Creating allows me not only to express myself, but also to connect with others, evoke reflection, and share ideas that matter to me.
