ABOUT ME

As an artist, my goal is to create immersive works that can deliver different emotions and viewpoints to the audience. I aim for my audience to be heard and understood; as every art tells a different story, evokes different emotions—and each one is just as important as the other.
I take a keen interest on story telling, world building, character designing, and exploring different art styles and mediums.There is no limit to art.
TARGET
Be a formally published illustrator.
Establish my brand and identify as an independent artist

QUOTES I KEPT
—What you’re not changing, you are choosing.—
—There’s always something to learn from someone.——“It’s not easy.
It hasn’t been. Not in the longest time.
But this is the hard I choose, because it outweighs everything else.”——90% hard work, 10% luck——It all works out in the end.—
An Art Kid at Heart
A Craftsperson
A Painter
A Creative
FOREWORD
I learned to draw a stickman before I learned to write my name. I learned to express and tell through symbols before the technical, known way.“As a kid, I was told I was gifted—talented.
As a grown-up, I was told I was brave for pursuing this path.”Creating art and being an artist in a country that puts this aspect last was never easy. There were moments when I felt as if taking a different, practical path would be better than pursuing my passion. My country and my people are not the kindest to artists like me; we are often looked down upon, not taken seriously, and told it was just a phase.
I was one of the lucky ones blessed with a supportive family, who—instead of bringing down my aspirations—lifted and nourished them instead. I wouldn’t be here without their support.There is no limit to art. And I intend to keep my promise to keep creating, for I will always be an artist at heart.
