Creative Experience
I received my first paint set at the age of 16, and immediately began blending colors and playing with techniques and shapes. 13 years ago, I really started painting, trying to find myself, and my style. Only to realize by looking at my original paintings, I had my own style all along. Not much has changed from my early days. The palette is pretty much the same, if not more vibrant. The shapes change with my mood.
I still play around a lot. Now with texture. Whether it be burning things, breaking record albums, or sculpting on the canvas there is always something new I want to experiment with. I always say never stop playing, never stop growing.
