From Shortlisted to Winner: My VAA Art500 Journey. Honoured to Be a VAA Art100 International Award Winner

I am delighted to share some wonderful news: after initially being shortlisted, I was selected as a winner of the VAA Art100 International Award.

The journey from shortlist to winner has been both exciting and humbling. The VAA Art100 celebrates artists from around the world, and to be recognised among such talented creatives is a tremendous honour. Moments like these provide encouragement to continue creating, exploring new ideas, and pushing artistic boundaries.

This achievement follows an exciting year of recognition, including being named a winner of the VAA Art100 International Award Art100 International Winners - Visual Artists Association Together, these honours represent important milestones in my artistic journey and reflect years of dedication to developing my sculptural practice.

As part of this recognition, all award recipients will be featured in the VAA Art100 International Industry Book, a curated publication celebrating contemporary artists and connecting their work with collectors, galleries, and art professionals worldwide. The publication is scheduled for release at the end of 2026.

With heartfelt thanks to the Visual Artists Association, Galeria Moderna, Cass Art, and to everyone who continues to support my work, this recognition means more to me than I can express. It is a privilege to be included among such talented artists, and I look forward to sharing the next chapter of my creative journey.
