It’s wonderful to have artist friends from around the world, each bringing their unique cultural perspectives. They share how they see art, sparking inspiration and opening doors to new creative influences.

The reason I’ve returned to Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, is my artist friend Alecs. I’ll be staying here for two months, creating new art inspired by the Spanish influence of Alecs. We have deep conversations about art, artists, and what art means to us.
Alecs and his wife, Elena, run Soppa de Azul, a co-working space where many artists and digital nomads gather. It’s the perfect place for me to focus on my work. Another reason for my return was to personally give Alecs a copy of my Nostr book, documenting a year-long artistic journey in which he played a part. It feels great to be back—to create, to grow, and to be surrounded by artistic energy once again.
