Artist Statement

Since I was young, I’ve felt a powerful pull to create. My journey began with traditional art—using my hands to paint, draw, and explore tactile materials. Over time, my artistic vision expanded, and I began to incorporate technology into my process. While I initially hesitated to share my mixed media and digital work, fearing it might not be considered “real” art, I’ve come to realize that these pieces, which take days to craft, are just as valid and meaningful as my traditional works.

 

My art is a unique fusion of the physical and digital realms. I love the feeling of getting my hands dirty with traditional materials, layering textures, and embracing the unpredictability of physical media. But I also find immense satisfaction in bringing those creations into the digital space, where I can refine details and add depth in ways I couldn’t achieve by hand alone. This combination allows me to express myself fully, and I find joy in every step of the process.

 

Creating is a deeply personal experience for me, driven by an inner force I can’t ignore—almost as strong as my desire to be a mother. It brings me a sense of joy and fulfillment that few other things can. Once a piece is complete, the excitement of sharing it with the world is its own reward. Even if it doesn’t gain attention or likes, just knowing that something new exists because of me is a success in itself. Each piece, whether traditional, digital, or a combination of both, is a marker of my growth as an artist.

 

My process is largely intuitive. I don’t strictly follow the rules of composition or color theory that I learned in college—if they influence me at all, it’s at a subconscious level. Instead, I embrace the freedom of working purely on instinct, allowing each piece to evolve organically. The joy for me comes not from executing a preconceived plan but from discovering what emerges as I work. It’s an experiment, and I’m often just as surprised by the final result as anyone else.

 

While I know digital art is sometimes seen as less respected, I believe it represents a new, exciting frontier of creativity. Regardless of how it’s received, I’m confident that the work I produce—whether physical or digital—is a true expression of who I am as an artist.
