“Ever since I can remember, I was intrigued by art and architecture. My curiosity led me to explore these two fields and I gained knowledge and experience in both of them. Seeking more creativity and artistic freedom, I discovered the world of mural art and started focusing on the idea of ‘public space’. With every new project I am always fascinated by the scale of the “canvas” I have. The walls allow me to think big. I respect that every project needs to be considered in regard to the surroundings, the public outlook and historical background. Experimenting with paint techniques and exploring the diversity of themes I established my own mythology; a magical world where the spectators can escape. I avoid a focus on a single character, preferring to do a wide variety of diverse concepts. My inspiration comes from traveling across the world and learning about different cultures and legends. I am charmed by the spaces of large urban and small-scale cities.” -Key Detail

Inspiration for mural

“The elegant lady embodies the roles of both Keeper and Muse of Art. She holds a lyre, symbolizing the art of music, and a brush adorns her hair, representing visual art. In her hand, she carries a magical light stone that symbolizes Art, emitting a gentle glow. Just as butterflies are drawn to the light, this luminous stone attracts people to enjoy and appreciate Art. Similar to a lighthouse that emits to guide ships safely through the darkness, this light captures the interest and gazes of people. I have depicted vibrant plants like cactuses and used a warm green color palette as a tribute to the beauty of the local natural surroundings.” – Key Detail
