Artist Statment:
As an artist, I explore a variety of subjects, including landscapes, architecture, live models, still life, and character design. Oftentimes, I try to incorporate elements of emotions into my work. My artistic practice is driven by a desire for continuous improvement, particularly in illustration, where I focus on studying hands and experimenting with unfamiliar mediums. While I specialize in digital art, photography, video editing, and documentation, my creative journey extends beyond these disciplines.Much of my work is deeply personal, serving as a reflection of my emotions and experiences. I use photography, painting, and digital media to convey meaning, with a particular emphasis on "Liminal Spaces" in my photography. This concept allows me to visually express emotions that are nostalgic, introspective, and sometimes surreal.Being in a creative field provides me with the opportunity to connect with others and communicate ideas that resonate on an emotional level. Currently, I am exploring liminal photography, as I am drawn to the sense of atmosphere and emotional depth it evokes. Ultimately, my goal is to continue evolving as an artist—experimenting with new techniques, refining my compositions, and creating works that are both meaningful to me and engaging to my audience.

Photograph Collage
10 x 40 Inch
Description:
This is a collage of photographs I have taken in the past. These pictures mimic a part of how I have been feeling in the past few months, Artist burnout and the lack of purpose in my life. These feelings keep haunting me and cause a lot of outbursts of negativity that made me have thoughts of suicide. Although I did not go to that point, it led me to create these photos in a way to express myself.Alt Text:

Night in Shibuya
2024
Acrylic on Canvas
30 x 40 InchDescription:
This is an abstract recreation of a photograph I have taken in Shibuya, Japan. It was a very busy night, and I was walking alone in a busy city, yet with so many people around I felt very hostile and lonely. It is a sense of not belonging there that made me create this artwork, I use abstraction in here to show the chrematistic of a busy and bright city street, the abstraction also gives the sense of hostility and isolation. I also dry brushed the entire painting to create a very thick paint layer, making the bright part pop out a lot more.Alt Text:

Distance Memory
2024
Oil on Canvas
20x16 InchDescription:
This painting was created with the inspiration of my time in Japan with my father, it was a very wonderful time, and I treasured it very much. I paint this with the appreciation of my father who allowed me to visit Fuji Mountain, and it also represents how these moments are just mere distance memory. I paint this with the idea of not including too much, I want to give the viewer a sense of isolation, I want to make the painting feels like it's familiar, yet details cannot be clearly shown, allowing the thought of this being a distance memory.Alt Text:
