2- what inspires you?

I get a lot of my inspiration from other artists in various fields, a lot of time also bouncing ideas off one another.

The genre of music synth-wave and retrowave inspire me a lot to set the overall tone in a lot of my art pieces.

I’ve always had an interest in working with spaces, visualizing them in different ways that set it apart from reality.

The act of fruition for these is always very motivating and pushes me to keep moving ahead.

3- How would you describe your artwork to someone who has never seen it?

My style of work takes elements from the retro wave/synthwave movement of the 80s & 90s, along with modern graphic art and design.

I enjoy working with and illustrating imaginary spaces that evoke feelings of nostalgia and happiness, in the realm of fantasy and sci-fi.

4- How do you recharge your creative batteries?

I make sure to take enough breaks in between work, and not burn out anytime because of work pressure.

When possible, vacations are great to have a change of environment and pace and recharge the batteries.

I am also a gamer, which really helps me destress and tune off if required.

5- What are you most proud of? (What has your work on social media contributed to your goals?)

I’ve been lucky to create the work I always wanted to and also had the chance to work with people I’ve always looked up to.

Social media in that sense has helped me immensely to connect with and learn from others.

It has helped me be a part of a community of like-minded people who push and inspire one another.
