Solo.How do you/your perception of art differ from others?
To be honest, I wasn't sure how to define a difference within myself, given that the era we live in has made such distinctions seem similar. However, I do believe that original thought and a unique creative style set artists apart. In my artwork, I employ cutting-edge artistic tools to juxtapose natural elements, which stand in stark contrast to technology, with organic textures. This approach brings these elements to the forefront through symbolic expression.
