“Illustration manifests itself in my daily life by making me more aware of my surroundings. This interest has led me to pay more attention to the artwork in my everyday life. I will take pictures and document the artwork that inspires me. Another way it manifests itself in my life is through social media. In an age where technology is a big part of modern young people's daily lives, social media plays a big role in influencing our thoughts. I follow many art accounts on social media, which keeps me in touch with the art world. My artwork is the main way I communicate my thoughts and ideas. I am a rather timid person, so I find it difficult to share my ideas in words or language. My artwork is able to convey my emotions and ideas through different mediums and lines. Illustration allows me to explore a new way to share my ideas. I like to focus on abstract painting details and use multiple colors to create dimension and different atmospheres in my work.”
