What was your inspiration for the work you entered into the 3X3 Competition?
In my art practice, I use my spare time to do life drawings in galleries, museums, streets, markets etc, I have recorded everything that’s interesting ever since I’ve come to London, including different scenes, people, and events. I was inspired by those life drawings and painted several artwork from my original sketches using acrylic, trying different colour experiments and materials.
