Artist Statement

For the most part, I usually create visual art in the form of drawings, something that I've been doing all my life, and computer graphics, something I fell in love with and committed myself into. However, I also plan to include video and photography in my repertoire. My drawings have developed to revolve around the theme of time or age. I often find myself drawing either old people with lines that vary in thickness and control or child-like depiction of people and things with clean lines and simple shapes. My computer graphics work also shows the latter. Furthermore, my interest in typography and visual hierarchy have lead to other work that fully rely on text and placement. My strong attraction to vintage design, imagery, and color palettes greatly influence my work. It is my way of preserving the past and its aesthetics. My abilities as an artist began its advancement during my study at the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts where students ventured in all aspects of their designated artistic major on top of regular high school work. In my case, as an art major, I studied art from its history to its many different styles and practices hands on. Now, I plan to use the skills that I have and will develop to work in the field of media.
