I’m largely a self-taught artists. I started drawing as a means to deal with difficult circumstances I was once in. In 1998, I was among over 25 young boys victims of human trafficking. After our rescue, I continued using art as therapy. Inspired by masters such as Van Gogh, my works demonstrate similar techniques in a contemporary way. I constantly take education as a subject in my work by creating images out of shapes, numbers, lines, letters, dots and the four elements of wind, fire, water and the sun.
