For almost ten years, he worked in the creative industry. During the 2020 pandemic, he began his artistic career. He started by making geometric paintings, which gradually evolved into abstract geometry. This became the foundation for the Diamond Eyes character and a visual signature that continues to shape his practice.

He was also selected for the Studio 88 Residency in Chiang Mai, Thailand, but was unable to participate due to scheduling and funding constraints His practice explores how lived experiences transform the meanings we ascribe to people, places, symbols, rituals, and everyday life. He is particularly interested in how these meanings shape identity, belonging, memory, and cultural understanding. Most of his projects translate invisible experiences into artistic form.
