My art is my story — and I hope it becomes a part of yours too.




My Artistic Journey
Art has been part of me for as long as I can remember. As a child, I dreamed of becoming an artist, but at 16 my life changed dramatically. Illness and later severe depression, anxiety, and OCD took over. In my pain, I destroyed all my drawings and paintings. I thought everything was lost — my art, my dream, and myself.
By 2019, I had reached rock bottom. Out of desperation, I picked up a pencil again, just to see if creating could ease the weight of depression and calm my anxiety. What I discovered was more powerful than I ever expected: art gave me strength, motivation, and a reason to fight for my life. It made me feel alive again.
Despite my struggles, I’ve always noticed the beauty of the world — the small details, the fleeting moments of joy, the light that shines even in dark places. My greatest wish is to capture that essence of life, happiness, and beauty in my art.
Each piece I create is for the brave souls who need a reminder that hope is never gone. That even in the hardest times, beauty still surrounds us. And that choosing to keep going, to live and to love, is one of the bravest things you can do.
