When I created this painting, I was thinking about how I feel about the world. I think that
the world is becoming more and more chaotic and unpleasant to live and breathe. Sometimes,
you feel isolated and lost. Search for a place of solitude and peace. -- SOLD to ESTHER PRODUCTIONS, INC ON JUNE 23, 2023

Multicultural literature

  Quote found on the Internet  “Multicultural literature encompasses a diverse range of literary works that reflect the varied cultural backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives of different ethnic and social groups.

DC Color Narrative

The vibrant hues of black, purple, and yellow resonate with my experiences and memories, encapsulating the essence of my upbringing in a culturally rich and dynamic environment. My journey into digital art has allowed me to channel my personal and professional history and cultural background into a visual form. The interplay of...
