Artistic Statement.
I am deeply drawn to the blue of dawn—a color that speaks softly yet profoundly. My artistic practice revolves around this theme, exploring a wide spectrum of blues: sky blue, blue-green, blue-violet, light blue, and navy.

Using Adobe Illustrator, I create digital artworks with the care and precision of traditional techniques. Each brushstroke is rendered meticulously, blending the vivid clarity of digital media with the organic textures reminiscent of oil and watercolor painting. To enhance the rich visual impact, I use Giclée printing, which preserves the luminosity and depth of the digital colors.

My goal is to depict blue as a delicate, glowing presence—like a candle flickering gently in the dark. Through my art, I seek to express the calm, fantastical, and tender world that blue evokes.

May blue find its way into the hearts of those who love it.
