Artist Statement As an artist, my goal is to create illustrations about themes that I have found interesting in the past three or four years. Most of these themes are related with fantasy because of my interest in japanese animation and digital illustrations.
With my artwork I try to portray the way I look at different ideas, situations, or themes while utilizing a style that has been heavily influenced by manga/anime. This led me to work mostly in 2D. Since 2D drawings are the “traditional way” of creating animations, when I am creating a new piece, I think about it as if it were a single frame of an animation rather than something that is completely independent. This idea has helped me to have more fun while working on a new piece because I try to come up with a new story for every single one of them, or if the themes are similar, combine all pieces in a longer story. |
