CV/Resume
This is a collection of the moments that have shaped Barbtropolis — murals, exhibitions, recognitions, and milestones that mark the path I’ve taken.
Each one holds a story. Together, they trace where the work has been and how it’s grown. This isn’t just a list of achievements — it’s a glimpse into my ongoing commitment to creating art that leaves a mark, both on walls and in the hearts of those who live with a piece.
