“Color is at the heart of my creative process. I am drawn to the most intense and vivid hues, for they have the power to ignite the senses and evoke emotions that words alone cannot convey. Through the rich and vibrant palette of alcohol inks, I strive to infuse my art with the same joy that colors bring me, hoping to kindle a similar sense of delight in those who view my work.
 
Combining color with the subject of flowers brings joy and is shared in times to express emotions. My artistic process begins with the organic flow of alcohol inks, where I allow the colors to merge and dance together, forming shapes that seem to emerge from the very essence of the medium itself.”
