Inspiration: I was inspired to create this painting based off of my journey. Once I started to take my art seriously and dedicated my entire life to my work and to my craft as an artist, I eventually hit what I call “the point of no return.” What I mean by that is once I hit that point in my life there was no going back. For me as an artist I must create or die. There is no other option for me. Once I hit the point of no return that meant there was no more second guessing, there was no more doubting and there was no more plan b for my life. A normal job that destroyed my soul was no longer a option. From that point forward I had to make sure I sacrificed everything for my art. My life now revolves around art and around the pursuit of expressing myself in the purest way possible through my artwork in order to connect with other people around the world.
