Painting became his sanctuary, a realm where he could give voice to the narratives that yearned to be shared.
Although he never pursued art as a career, societal expectations and perceptions held him back for a time. However, he came to realize that his artistic expression held immense value and the power to touch hearts. Through his paintings, he seeks to challenge the notion that society may not fully embrace art, offering a glimpse into a world where joy and beauty can coexist.
