Driven by creativity and dedication, I’ve been experimenting as much as possible—painting on canvas, textiles, paper, wood, and even surfboards with different media. I have also had the opportunity to support and help the SurfKids Foundation in various ways, from designing T-shirts to painting murals for our local surf school.

Over the past few months, my inspiration has come not only from Wax fabrics but also from natural patterns I’ve encountered, like the intricate designs of giraffe skin that I saw at the Bandia Reserve. These have become a recurring motif in my work.

My art is now more than ever inspired by Africa—its colorful fabrics, textiles, and natural elements, from wild animals to the ocean surrounding this wonderful continent.
