Since I was 2 years old, I used Art to express myself. It has always been hard for me to accurately say what my emotions are, yet when it came to drawing or painting those emotions on paper everything got easier. Drawing on my house walls, making sculptures with building blocks, asking my parents to enroll me on local painting classes, etc. These are just some of the activities I used to practice when I was small. It was well-known by my family members and friends that I was going to end up doing something related to art in some kind of way. Specially my parents, they have always said that they saw it in me. I also knew it, I only enjoyed going to school when my classes had us doing creative crafts or art class. As I grew older there was no doubt that I wanted to work with my creativity for the rest of my career and life.
I want people that see my art to feel what I feel when I create it. I strive for people to feel excited or any other emotion that I was trying to express on any type of artwork. I want my work to be seen, to be recognized by the public, to inform people and bring them closer to art. It is important for me to spread how impactful art is in all of our lives. I usually brainstorm and them simplify it to a concrete idea. This is the most important step to create something, having a concrete idea. After that, there is still many things to work on. When I finish a project, nothing compares to the feeling of self-accomplishment and knowing that at least one person will feel what I expressed.
