Artist Biography
I am a self-taught digital illustration artist specializing in creating visually captivating works by leveraging the powerful tools of AI, Procreate, and Adobe Photoshop. By incorporating animation techniques and adding depth to my illustrations, I strive to bring my artistic vision to life and engage viewers in a more dynamic experience. My creative process involves a blend of traditional artistic principles and innovative digital methods, allowing me to push the boundaries of my art and explore new dimensions in storytelling through visuals. My other interests are making 2D animation and 3D prints as I continue my adult studies in graphics online and classroom.
In addition to my work as a digital illustration artist, I have a profound passion for photography, particularly when I’m exploring parks, botanical gardens, or embarking on travel adventures. During these outings, I take the opportunity to capture the stunning beauty of my surroundings through my camera lens, focusing on the intricate details of nature, vibrant floral compositions, and captivating landscapes. I enhance these photographs using Adobe Photoshop to refine the images further and add depth and dimension, helping to highlight the striking colors and textures that initially inspired me.
While AI tools can assist artists in discovering new avenues of creativity, I hold a deep respect for the authenticity and cultural significance inherent in genuine art forms. I believe that AI should enhance rather than replace the work of true professional artists, who bring unique perspectives and emotional depth to their creations.
