The beauty and the burden, of being an artist is that we bring inspirational meaning to people lives through our creations.
Our art must be original and deliver a message that aligns with the audience, or moves them to positive actions and empowering feelings. It is a great responsibility, and it is the beauty.
The artist, as any other business or professional, “manufactures a product and/or provides a service". Conceptualizing that product is a very time consuming and an essential step preceding its production.
Once the artwork is ready for business, conception, production, and financial reward are commonly neglected and underrated by most people, and that is the burden.
Come to explore my “artistic products” and I will tell you about their valuable meanings.
My portraits are embedded with empowering subliminal messages and my unique artistic expression.
I work with three distinct styles of portraits, which I call classic, imaginative and lineart.
Below you see one example of each style.

I love designing, I see them more than branding.
I see lines aligned to beacon inspiration towards environmental and social causes, to spread joy and incite people to a healthier response.
My initial idea of creating an artistic gateway was to interact with anyone who needs an inspirational push towards self-improvement.
I have been interacting with people through art, as a work-for-hired artist, as a professor/tutor, as a student, etc., and I noticed that art, in its many formats, connects people, and artists are influencers.
Their work "touches and speaks to" people.
The fanbase is one of the most inspirational sources an artist can have.
While they support the artist’s work, especially when that generates financial rewards, that appraisal creates a respectful two-way path that benefits all.
Therefore, artists need to be mindful with their manners, their behavior, and their messages.
In my opinion, artists, regardless of being financially successful, should be more involved with environmental and social causes.
It is an action of giving back, making the difference in the world by using their artistic gift.
While art, in its simplified definition, can be accepted as something created with skills and imagination that expresses ideas or feelings, my art is created with valued interactive purpose.
It is art that heals, that transforms positively, that brings balance, and that you can fell it.
I invite you to experience my art, to align with my vision and reach your own definition.
