People are fascinating
My work is rooted in storytelling — the stories we carry in our faces, our posture, our culture, and our everyday moments. I am inspired by people: their resilience, beauty, vulnerability, and quiet strength. Through drawing and charcoal, I seek to capture more than likeness. I aim to reveal emotion, history, and human connection.
​
Growing up, I rarely saw images that reflected people who looked like me represented with dignity and depth. Discovering classical art and Renaissance portraiture showed me the power of representation — and it reshaped how I approach my own work. Today, I use my art to elevate everyday people into timeless subjects, honoring their presence and their narratives.
​
People Art & Company was created as an extension of this vision. It is not only a creative studio but a platform for community engagement, collaboration, and cultural preservation. Through exhibitions, commissions, educational initiatives, and public projects, I strive to create meaningful connections between art and community.
​
My goal is for viewers to slow down, feel something real, and recognize themselves — or someone they love — within the work. Whether capturing a fleeting expression or a powerful cultural moment, I want my art to serve as a reflection of who we are and where we come from.
Art, to me, is not separate from life. It is life — observed, honored, and shared.​
