When did you decide to become an artist?

From high school

What do you find most fascinating about the creative process?

I like to create something that is real but also unreasonable. I enjoy making the subtle tones, small different gestures on the paintings.

I am interested in the change of perspectives. The relationship between paintings and space, this is the direction I am working on now.

More important than my career is how good my paintings are.
