Expressionist: Painting without lines just a mixture of colors expressing a unique design or event. Ambigram: A lot of design and very detailed work. Mostly colors and hidden messages in and around the art. These paintings show something different in every angle. Prestige: Mixture of Expressionist and Ambigram. Combination of both styles creating a unique and complex form of perspective. Robotic: Only lines, no color or two colors- sending a clear message of what I am expressing. Tell us a bit about Embot Gallery. Embot gallery isn't just about the pictures on the wall that you see, it’s the whole truth about who I am. The gallery of my thoughts, my soul, my essences and all that is. It mainly focuses on the positive side, but also recognizes that there is a negative side. Embot started off as a nickname for me until I decided to make it my brand name. The word Embot is a mixture of Emmeline and Robot. I believe that society has turned into a robotic state of mind in which human interaction is no longer important.

The greatest part of life to me is sharing an interaction with another human being, acknowledging that you are both alive. message is inspiring to me, it reminds me of the way we all should express ourselves, united in trying to understand why we are here together.

Where do you see yourself in the next 6 years? Geesh, I can't say I know where I’ll be in 6 years or who I’ll be. Things change and even if I came up with a legitimate answer, who knows what may happen. I will tell you this, that in the next six years all the goals that I have set will be accomplished and even then, whatever else comes my way I will achieve it all. Who are your favorite artists or artistic inspirations? As I mentioned before, I discovered this talent six years ago and I wasn’t aware of the amazing artists that shared their views until I started. I’ve always appreciated the art from our past that include: Pablo Picasso, Leonardo Da Vinci, Keith Haring and so on. I’ve met a lot of graffiti artists, painters, illustrators and even writers all in New York City. I am mostly inspired by my roots and the artists around me that I meet; I’ve experienced the most beautiful collaborations with other artists from New York City.
