My trip to Bahrain for the 2025 Formula 1 Grand Prix on April 13 2025 was an unforgettable experience with unique access to the heart of Formula 1.
As an artist I have had the privilege of working with collectors from around the world including many high profile athletes and public figures. One of them is Pierre Aubameyang who has been collecting my work since 2019 when I created a special piece for him to celebrate his Golden Boot during his time at Arsenal. That painting now hangs proudly in his private collection.
In Bahrain we had the chance to enjoy the event together thanks to Ferrari who invited us for a full paddock experience. We had access to the garages saw the cars up close and witnessed the detailed preparation that defines race day.
Meeting Lewis Hamilton was a nice moment of the weekend. We spoke briefly about art and motorsport. What I value most about trips like this is meeting great individuals from all over the world sharing stories and getting inspired. These moments quietly find their way into my creative process layers of impressions that shape how I see and express energy movement and emotion in my work.
