Describing his working process, the artist said, “My creative process fluctuates with my feelings, both of which are always evolving. I enjoy traveling to new places and gaining new perspectives, I’m inspired by lighting and the weather, and occasionally I really like taking myself out of my comfort zone – for example, trying out different limited palettes, painting something new, etc.”
