Lockdown Series
It began during the lockdown of 2020, when we were all confined to our homes.I began to observe and sketch my family members, capturing them in moments familiar to many - engrossed in their phones. Through this practice, I experimented with different artistic tools such as markers and pencils, aiming to understand human posture through sketchinhg. This exploration also deepened my understanding of light and shadow. Thus, admist challenging times, creativity emerged, yielding valuable insights and inspiration.
Gradually, I began incorporating additional elements into my drawings alongside human figures. This exploration allowed me to conceptualize the scale of objects relative to human figures and the overall composition of each drawing. Subsequently, I endeavored to introduce elements of humor into a comic format.
Magazine Covers
Following the completion of these illustrations depicting two elegant women, I envisioned transforming them into a magazine cover, an attempt I pursued using Photoshop. Designing for a fashion magazine cover has been an aspiration of mine, and in this instance, I tried to emulate the style of a fashion lifestyle publication, naming it ‘Elegance’.
I have a penchant for capturing intricate details, and any space rich with such nuances invariably captures my interest. While pursuing my Bachelor of Architecture degree, I took a photograph of my professor engrossed in work within the staffroom. Her office space was adorned with an array of small details -books, toys, tissues, bottles - that imbued it with a poetic and colorful ambiance. Inspired by this setting, I thoroughly enjoyed illustrating her seated in her office. Admittedly, there was no actual cat present. Subsequently, I transformed this illustration into a magazine cover, naming it ‘NAREE’. The subsequent page features the complete illustration.

Comission work
I have also undertaken commission projects, including an illustration for a chocolate poster, a customized design for a friend with a liking for cosmetics, and an artwork inspired by an anime called "Death Note."
Take this waltz
These illustrations are set in a post-apocalyptic world, a theme I was greatly inspired by the Netflix series “Love, Death & Robots.” The drawings features intricate details, including various creatures and robots, reflecting a future where time and technology have advanced significantly, resulting in considerable evolutionary changes in species. Despite the surrounding chaos, the illustrations aim to show a tender and unchanging love.
Love in post apocalyptic world
Thank you for visiting. I look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with you and bring your ideas to life through vibrant art.
