My work is based on memories, the things I grew up with or something I can relate to. Every object I used in my paintings reflects my past. The images are tilted or partially drawn, are upside down since they are distorted in my mind and I arrange them the way I remember it from time to time. I try to use more happening colors as it can interpret a happier version and makes the viewer more invested. I like to change the coloring as it is in original concept so one would not lose interest and keep it interesting as the colors, I use are different and is reflecting a different side to the story.

I like to create something with which every individual can relate to and I believe a person can relate themselves via the objects that are commonly used in everyday life and everyone can interpret and can trace back to something they themselves experienced which makes the viewer more invested because they can relive their past.
