Singing
Singing has been a significant part of my life since childhood, as I've participated in school musicals, choirs, and band. Music brings people together, evokes powerful emotions, and allows me to connect with others through song. Singing is a form of self-expression that also brings joy to listeners, uplifting spirits and spreading positivity. It is my escape, therapy, and a way to share the gift of music with the world.
Painting
My paintings are a reflection of my inner thoughts and feelings. I mainly work with acrylics and watercolors, creating both abstract and realistic pieces. I find that painting allows me to truly connect with my emotions and convey them in a unique and personal way. I often draw inspiration from nature, emotions, and the world around me. Each stroke of the brush helps me release pent-up feelings and fosters a sense of calm and fulfillment. My paintings are not only a form of self-expression but also a way for me to communicate with others and evoke emotions in them as well. Art has always been a therapeutic outlet for me, and I am grateful to have the opportunity to share my work with others.
