Six years ago, my life took an unexpected turn. With a Master's and PhD in Artificial Intelligence under my belt, I was working for a major tech company, immersed in the cutting-edge world of computer science. But the high-pressure business environment began to take its toll, and I found myself yearning for a change.

That same year, I faced a personal tragedy with the loss of my father. In my search for solace and a way to process my emotions, I turned to art. What began as a coping mechanism soon blossomed into a passion that would reshape my entire life.

During the challenging times of the pandemic, art became my escape and my anchor. In 2019, I started sharing my creations online, initially as a way to document my artistic journey. Little did I know that this simple act of sharing would transform my hobby into a full-time career.

Over the past few years, I've dedicated myself to studying and experimenting with various artistic styles. My background in AI and computer science has given me a unique perspective, allowing me to blend technical precision with creative expression.

Recently, I've found myself drawn to surrealistic collage. This medium fascinates me because it allows for the perfect fusion of reality and imagination. Through surrealistic collage, I can express the vivid imagery of my mind, creating worlds that exist beyond the boundaries of our everyday experience.

One of the most rewarding aspects of this journey has been sharing my passion for art with my audience. It fills me with joy to see my work inspiring other artists to create. As an introvert, I've been amazed by the meaningful connections I've made within the art community. These experiences have helped me open up to the world in ways I never expected, showing me that I needed this artistic path to grow not just as a creator, but as a person.

The sense of community and the relationships I've built have been transformative. They've helped me understand that art is not just a solitary pursuit, but a powerful means of connection and communication. Through my art, I've found a voice and a way to engage with the world that feels authentic and fulfilling.

As I continue to evolve as an artist, I'm grateful for the unexpected path that led me here. My journey from the world of algorithms to the realm of art has taught me that creativity knows no bounds, and that sometimes our greatest passions are discovered in the most unexpected places.

I invite you to join me on this artistic adventure, as I explore the limitless possibilities of surrealistic collage, continue to push the boundaries of my imagination, and foster connections within this vibrant creative community.
