Artist Statement
Since I was young, I've been mesmerized by the world of art. It began with simple strokes on paper and evolved into a lifelong journey of self-discovery through creativity. From painting classes to creating random crafts, I found comfort and joy in every brushstroke and every creation that took shape under my hands.
My path initially led me down the road of studio art, where I learned different types of art such as printmaking and ceramics which became new favorite hobbies. As I continued to explore my artistic expression, I found myself drawn towards poster art and digital drawing. I enjoyed how clean making digital art was. Even though I really enjoy using my hands to create art this was a different feeling. Combining my passion for art and the digital art world made it fun to create designs. In the realm of pixels and virtual canvases, I found freedom. I was no longer confined by the limitations of physical mediums.
In my digital creations there's a distinct style—a harmonious fusion of minimalism and retro flair. I usually lean towards designs that are challenging to the eye in my paintings while my digital designs are way different. I have distilling complex ideas and turn them into clean, visually engaging compositions, where every element serves a purpose. It's in this balance of simplicity and nostalgia that I discover my creative voice. Through my fun-loving design style, I aspire to evoke joy, spark nostalgia, and perhaps even inspire a bit of whimsy in those who encounter my work.
