style
My art style is deeply influenced by my background in fine art, I enjoy playing around with textures, grains and brushstrokes. I aim to produce works that seamlessly bridge the realms of digital and traditional media, all while preserving the beautiful organic rawness inherent in traditional drawings—a quality that can sometimes get lost in digitalized art. Therefore, I've cultivated a distinctive creative approach that embraces the aesthetics of traditional art while continually pushing its boundaries by engaging in experimental ventures with various digital and 3D tools, elevating and expanding its artistic potential.
​
My desire to understand myself and the world around me better are the driving forces behind the stories I choose to tell in my animation, where abstract concepts are delicately explored with the use of magicrealism.
