Artist Statement
Art has followed me throughout my journey in life ever since I was a child. During my adolescence. I was always actively exploring the scenery that life had me wondering what is beyond the starry nights. Letting my creative mind take over countless imaginative stories; Until the time I finally reached my band era; I was mesmerized by the arts; where I could let my emotions pour out with the calming sounds of my flute. To this day my Appreciation, Love and knowledge for art expanded due to Video games, Novels, Animation, and the scenery of the world. Experiencing and witnessing other people's passion projects kindled a flame in my own heart. Endless thoughts and aspirations flowed through me allowing me to see different sides of perspectives I had never yet seen. Day after day Something new appears and it keeps giving me new goals to strive towards. An example being pursuing an art style I could potentially call my own and be satisfied with.
Whilst my art has a long path ahead to adapt and grow, it still seems quite short when I think about it methodically. With every project, I tend to visualize how I would want my product to come out. I mention examples whether it be visual or verbal that best fits for what I am aiming for. From there on; Sketches and photoshopping parts together to bring a better idea of what will be created; once the base is settled, I start doing refinement and proper adjustments to see what does and what does not work. Finally, the final product starts to be visible, and I go through critiques from my fellow peers to see what can be improved and continue to be satisfied. When working. I want to make sure the art conveys my emotions, thoughts, and process to the viewer properly to captive and even inspire new or old artist alike.
While the road might end eventually, the journey of endless possibilities still takes flight!
