What themes run throughout your work? Conceptualism, abstractionism, surrealism, glamour portraiture, make up art et cetera.
How do you hope your work will affect its audience? I hope it's disturbing and bizarre enough to make an impression.
What sounds influence your work? A massive violin orchestra inside my head.
What makes you decide to create your work? An irresistible impulse to create. I'm a slave to Art.
Where do your talents lie? photography, fine arts & literature, above all.
What successes have you had so far? I've had a little short story book published when I was ten. I've also got a photography exhibition booked for this year.
What was the first creative thing that you ever did? My whole life's been all about creation, so far.
Has anyone taught you how to use your talent better? No, most of the times I learned by myself.
What makes you creative? Just like I said, I'm a slave to Art, I can't help it.
How did you get started? On photography, for instance, I started back in 2004, when I was 13.
What inspires you? Figments of abstract thoughts, images that explode before me and leave me with no option but bringing them to reality.
Who inspires you? Edgar Allan Poe and Edward Hopper.

What are you trying to achieve? I'm trying to become a Hollywood superstar except without starring in some tacky movie.

Accepting the need for money and all of life’s woes, what do you want to be? A writer.
What’s the most amazing thing you’ve ever seen / heard / experienced? A breathtakingly beautiful piece of music that turned my life upside down and showed me the real depths of beauty. Now it's no more than a song, but once it became the soundtrack to my entire life.
What do you consider to be the most important thing in life? Peace of mind.
Who/what is your nemesis and why? If there is one, I ignore its existence.
Artist Statement: Most of the time, I'm just the empress of my invisible imperia. Art is everything. Without it my existence would have no meaning and I'd be just one more working class bag of bones, another proletariat puppet. Fortunately, I've found my opium in creation and decided to make a living out of it.
I like to observe rather than being observed. I am able to take notice of some of the most intricate details of the world around me. I possible, I'll make note of them and turn them into pieces of Art.
I cannot describe the genesis of my photography, for example. Each image is like a flash of lightening, a blurry capture of something that's been in my mind but has now faded. Nothing is by the way though it all appears to be without a purpose.
