ARTIST & GRAPHIC DESIGNER
YOU ARE THE ARTWORK
By merging my artistic emotions with my designer’s mindset, i found a unique way to share my stories through this new medium.
Departing from conventional canvases,I delved into communication via graphic tees. By blending literature, typography, and digital art, i curated a series of graphic tees that echo the messages encapsulated in my paintings.

A STORY, A MESSAGE AND COUNTLESS THOUGHTS
I created a book presenting the stories behind my sculptural paintings through graphic design. To complement it, I designed and painted a jean jacket, treating it as a canvas and incorporating elements from ten different paintings. This project was completed at Otis College of Art & Design in Los Angeles.

A STORY, A MESSAGE AND COUNTLESS THOUGHTS
PAINTING IS MY WAY OF HOLDING ON TO MY WONDERLAND
My work is personal, with each piece representing an experience, observation, personality, or lesson learned. I express my thoughts, and each piece offers me a fresh perspective. I incorporate texture, movement, videography, music, and layers into my work, showcasing my passion for all aspects of art and design.
My visual language is constantly evolving, reflecting the ever-changing nature of our lives, and remains raw and unpolished. This authenticity is what sets my work apart.
Painting is my way of holding on to my
"WONDERLAND"
