Artist Statement
As a 2D animation student and character designer, my work expresses the intricate logic behind the movement of a human body and writes narratives that convey my emotions and experience as a human being, sharing my inner world and stories to my audiences.
When it comes to character designing, I work in the form of semi-realistic anime art style. The aesthetic incorporates elements of retro, cyber and sci-fi. I often find myself working in a digital medium while utilizing dry textured art lines to infuse my artworks with a natural appearance.
Through my artistic work style, I aspire to capture the essence of how a human body moves and appears in its different environment to evoke my audience with a profound sense of realism.
