You have a beautiful gallery. Great imagination! I love the colorful palette you use and that your paintings are full of textures, movement, colors, but without making it look saturated or crowded.
It is great how you take some topics that are considered creepy or sad, and turn them into something so attractive and full of energy.
Beautiful work. I wanna be like you, really!
