I’m an artist who moves between illustration, AI, video, and 3D. Some days I draw; other days I direct scenes that never existed before. My background is in digital illustration and character design, but over time I’ve expanded into AI-generated visuals and cinematic editing, building entire visual stories frame by frame, image by image, sound by sound. I treat each artwork like a puzzle of emotion, composition, and meaning. Some of my illustrated pieces evolve into rugs — real, physical textiles that carry the energy of the original art. Whether it’s a stylized poster, a scene, or a rug on the wall, my work is always personal. It’s all connected. I am passionate about creating art in layered processes that can start from a sketch, a sound, a movement, or a word. I think in images but feel in rhythm, which draws me to cinematic scenes and emotional editing. I often enter a state of hyper-focus, zooming into details where meaning hides. I use AI as a tool to expand my world, not replace it, and I give my artwork a physical form through rugs — textured, quiet, and lasting. I want viewers to find their own meaning in my creations, that's the magic.
