Artist Statement

 

Who am I as an artist?

    I am someone who appreciates the beautiful things in life. By that, I mean that I enjoy romanticizing the things that people don’t often think about. For example, I find immense joy in gazing out of a plane window at the tiny cars and buildings below, marveling at the unique patterns of the clouds, and getting a glimpse of the sun setting in the distance. These moments fill me with warmth, joy, and awe.

    I love combining the five senses to evoke strong emotions—like the crackling warmth of a flickering fire or the feeling of snowflakes falling on my face on a freshly powdered mountain. I savor the distinct aroma of coffee in the air as I rush to my gate at the airport, a reminder of the exciting journey ahead.

    How does this relate to my work as an artist? For years, I immersed myself in still life drawing, illustrating the world in the way that I see it. Life is more enjoyable through rose-tinted lenses, even if it's not always practical. It adds a spark of excitement to the mundane. That’s why I am so passionate about VFX. For example, with a simple dust particle simulation, volumetric smoke, and some god rays, I can transform any object or scene into something ethereal. It's all about reimagining scenes to enhance reality. The main challenge that I face is being able to take an immersive real-life experience that incorporates the five senses, and convert it into a purely visual experience.

    My main goal as an artist is to evoke powerful emotions in others—not just any emotions, but ones that bring happiness. I want people to look at my work and see beauty. By beauty, I mean something aesthetically appealing that evokes a sense of pleasure and satisfaction. It doesn’t have to be extravagant in nature; it just has to make someone feel good. Creating beautiful things brings me great joy and fulfillment, and I aspire to share that feeling with the world.
