DIGITAL ILLUSTRATIONS
(2023-2024)

My illustrative style uses striking colours, high contrast, and expressive features to capture a sense of nostalgia and authenticity. Combining coarse granulated textures, rough lines, and out-of-focus subjects, I try to achieve surreal, dreamlike compositions that give a raw glimpse into human experiences.

Created for Inktober 2023, inspired by the prompt 'Toad,' this piece draws from nocturnal photography of amphibians captured under the cover of night. The artwork focuses on a singular point of light reflecting in the toad's eyes, highlighting the eerie glow that draws the viewer in and amplifies the creature's mysterious presence.

An illustration that captures the eerie sensation of carrying bad luck. A vulnerable figure, curled in a fetal position, is enveloped by swirling black flames—emblems of toxic energy. The piece plays with dual interpretations: are the flames a force the figure controls, or are they consuming it from within?

This illustration, with its darkly clever title, serves up disappointment in a glass—literally. The half-full red liquid isn’t just a drink; it’s a symbol of pessimism, while the severed fish bleeding onto the tablecloth drives the point home: a negative outlook can spill over into real consequences. With a mix of humor and sharp critique, this piece invites viewers to rethink the “glass half empty” mentality, suggesting there’s more to life than sipping from a cup of doom.

This illustration was inspired by personal episodes of sleep apnea, where the unrest is represented by sinister looming tree branches as the figure awake or asleep faces the scarlet sunrise.

A colour study that attempts to convey a somber mood by utilizing a cool colour palette and incorporating sparkles that are reminiscent of the bright shine from tears.

A challenging part of the human experience involves accepting our imperfections. This illustration is a visual metaphor on how personal flaws can be transformed into an integral part of self-identity. In the composition, a spider symbolizes these weaknesses, its glow illuminates a figure in darkness. This figure courageously accepts their imperfections with an embrace, giving the spider a new light.

A staged illustration that brings a modern approach to traditional still life compositions. A vibrant colour palette and stark contrast brings interest to the flower buds that are staged and framed in the spotlight, garnering all attention to the center of the work.

A captivating glimpse into the universe we all carry within. Through delicate grain and intricate line work, a radiant galaxy of light encircles a human-like figure, symbolizing the boundless expanse of space that lives inside us all.

Inspired by the lifelong bond of swans, this surreal bouquet captures their enduring connection. The wings of two swans intertwine, overlapping in perfect harmony to form a striking, dynamic arrangement — a poetic tribute to love and unity.

A vivid exploration of texture and emotion, this striking illustration captures the moment a rose stands on the brink of being consumed by flames. The fiery chaos is brought to life with motion blur, giving a sense of physical frenzy to the flames and leaves. In contrast, the rose remains sharply focused, its intricate details drawing the eye and solidifying its role as the centerpiece of the composition—a poignant balance between beauty and destruction.

An illustration study using a traditional still life composition as the subject. The focus was capturing the delicate textures of each fruit and the fabric they rest upon, all while resisting the urge to over-render. The goal was to achieve a balance of realism — authentic, yet not hyper-detailed, allowing my unique illustration style to shine through.
