ARTIST STATEMENT
As an illustrator, I work primarily in the program Procreate on my Ipad. My creative process begins by immersing myself in the narratives that inspire me. Whether it’s working on commissioned projects from my agent, Jehane, or creating prints, I approach each piece with a dedication to capturing the essence of the story.
The versatility of digital illustration allows me to blend different styles, from whimsical and playful to sophisticated and elegant, adapting to the unique requirements of each project. With an arsenal of digital tools at my disposal, I can manipulate color, texture, and composition to create a visual language that engages and communicates effectively.
In my illustrations, I weave together elements of fantasy and reality. I find inspiration from the mysteries that surround us and the depths of human emotions, the duality of light and shadow, joy and sorrow, hope and despair.
My goal as a digital illustrator is to captivate, inspire, and transport viewers to a world of imagination. I want to create an emotional connection between the viewer and the artwork and through my illustrations, I aspire to evoke curiosity, laughter, wonder, and a sense of familiarity.
