At what point in your life did you start working towards becoming an established artist?
I never expected for my art to become Nahova. I’ve painted since I have a memory and in a more cognizant manner, I guess for about 12 years now. I am a self-taught artist and I never thought of exhibiting my artwork, maybe because painting has always been such a private thing for me (I still cannot paint with others around me. I feel naked when I paint.) A year and a half ago, someone told me hey why don’t you put your artwork up, so I started to display it in local coffee shops until the pandemic hit. Funny thing was that it didn’t stop Nahova at all. I started to work so much on myself and I believe that reflected into my art. I became more aware of life and understanding my place in this world. I know this impacted my art. Since Nahova, I have connected with others in a very unique way, I’ve received incredible support in my community and I strive to continue working hard to become a better version of Nahova every day and bring more color to your lives. I recently started a new podcast called ¿Qué te cambió?, A podcast where I will talk to people who chose to bet on their dreams, amongst many topics (this will be a bilingual podcast in my native tongue and some English episodes.
