Painting
02 Sonder
Sonder Series explores the realization that every person carries a world of stories as vivid and complex as my own. Each painting becomes a snapshot of an unseen narrative, layered in color, texture, and expression.
Through abstraction and portraiture, I try to capture those fleeting intersections of lives, emotions, and memories that we often pass by without noticing. This series invites viewers to pause, connect, and imagine the hidden universes within others.

Painting
04 Cityscape
Cityscape Series transforms the familiar skyline into a living, breathing organism, a reflection of how cities observe, remember, and evolve. Through layered geometry, rhythmic repetition, and a refined palette, each piece explores the emotional pulse of urban life.
The overlapping forms and watchful eyes suggest a collective consciousness. The sense that within every structure, countless stories coexist, shaping the spirit of the city itself.




Object
05 Sneakers
Transforming a pair of sneakers into a bold, graphic design object, using layered circular forms and vibrant color to create a sense of movement and personality. Influenced by animation and visual storytelling, the hand-painted imagery turns a functional item into a playful statement piece.
Through works like this, I explore the intersection of design, art, and everyday life, bringing imagination into objects meant to be worn and experienced.

Object
06 Surf Board
Set against the California coastline, the surfboard becomes both canvas and object. An invitation to carry painting into the landscape of play and movement.
Layers of vibrant circles and symbols echo the language of childhood curiosity, creating a surface that feels alive with rhythm and possibility.
