Moving to California and experiencing its diverse landscapes%u2014immense forests, boundless deserts, mountains, and untouched oceans%u2014deepened my appreciation for the natural world and ignited a passion to create art that reflects its beauty and complexity.Q: Can you describe your artistic style and how it has evolved over the years?A: My artistic style is characterised by the use of organic textures and raw elements from nature, combined with modern techniques and materials like epoxy resin. Over the years, it has evolved from traditional forms to a unique blend of sculpture, painting, and functional art. This evolution has been driven by continuous experimentation and a desire to push the boundaries of creativity, resulting in pieces that are immersive and tactile.MOST MAGAZINE - ISSUE 47 87
