The Crazy Ones
Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.
I’ve always been deeply inspired by Steve Jobs—not just because he built one of the most innovative companies of our time, but because he did it by trusting in something deeper: intuition, imagination, and the belief that the world could be different if we dared to see it that way.
Jobs didn’t just create Apple—he created a movement. A brand rooted in individuality, creativity, and the audacity to challenge everything we’ve been told to accept. His “Here’s to the crazy ones” campaign wasn’t just a marketing slogan; it was a manifesto for those of us who never quite fit in. For those who see the world not just for what it is, but for what it could be. That message has always lived inside of me.
As an artist, I live in that same energy. I’ve never followed a traditional path—nor have I ever wanted to. My work doesn’t try to conform; it aims to disrupt, to question, and to heal. I create not just to express myself, but to connect with those who have felt unseen, unheard, or misunderstood. My art is my rebellion. My voice. My contribution to pushing the human race forward, even if only in subtle, emotional ways.
Just like Jobs believed that those “crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do,” I believe art can transform how we experience reality, how we understand ourselves, and how we find hope. That’s the fire that drives every piece I create.
Here’s to the misfits. The rebels. The dreamers. And the artists.
We’re not here to fit in.
We’re here to wake people up.
Yours truly,
