FINE ARTS
Fine art has always been my most personal way of creating. Through drawing, painting, and sculpting, I explore emotion, imagination, and the physical act of making. Each piece allows me to push ideas beyond the digital world and into something tactile—where texture, gesture, and material become part of the story.
This drawing reinterprets a classic landscape painting by integrating a modern pop-culture element into the scene. By introducing a large, imposing creature towering over the historic architecture, the artwork creates a surreal clash between traditional beauty and contemporary fantasy. The monochromatic rendering emphasizes mood and form while blending the two eras into one cohesive narrative. The result challenges viewers to reconsider how familiar environments transform when modern imagination alters the past.

This painting uses a warm color palette to capture the intensity and beauty of a desert sunset. By blending vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows, the scene radiates heat and atmosphere, allowing the sky to become the focal point of the composition. The silhouetted cacti provide contrast and depth, grounding the piece and emphasizing the vastness of the landscape. Through color alone, the artwork conveys both the dramatic energy and quiet stillness of a desert evening.

This painting is a monochromatic exploration inspired by the iconic style and storytelling of the anime Cowboy Bebop. Using only red and its variations, the artwork creates an intense emotional atmosphere—balancing mystery, action, and the show’s signature noir influence. The strong contrast between the dark landscape and the saturated red highlights emphasizes movement and the rebellious spirit of the characters. By restricting the palette to a single hue, the focus shifts to composition, silhouette, and narrative energy, transforming a familiar fandom into a bold fine-art interpretation.

This piece focuses on the calming and atmospheric qualities of cool colors. Shades of blue and green are layered to build depth within a nighttime forest, while the light filtering through the trees creates a sense of mystery and quiet movement. The palette enhances the cool temperature of the scene, suggesting moonlight and shadow without relying on warmer tones. The result is a tranquil yet immersive environment shaped entirely through color harmony and contrast.
