I view my artwork as a means of expressing emotions that are often difficult to convey through words alone. Through the use of narrative storytelling, I aim to evoke a deep emotional response in those who engage with my illustrations.
My primary medium is digital illustration, employing vector art techniques. My creative process is heavily influenced by unfamiliar places, nature, weather, and the overall ambiance that I have yet to experience. Elements such as autumn and winter hold a particular fascination for me. Additionally, my work often reflects a longing for a magical world, reminiscent of my childhood dreams surrounded by enchanted creatures.
The theme of my exhibition draws from my personal journey of the past six years, living with a diabetic father.
Contemplating this theme, I recognize that numerous individuals in Indonesia also navigate life within diabetic families. This realization has motivated me to articulate not only my own emotions but also to give voice to their shared experiences. Within my artistic exploration, I aim to capture a range of emotions, starting with the sweetness found in food, beverages, and cherished memories, and culminating in a profound understanding. It is this progression that inspired the title of the exhibition, "In the Wake of Sweetness."
It is my sincere aspiration that viewers of my artwork will connect with the emotions I seek to convey. Furthermore, on a broader scale, I hope to contribute to the recognition and appreciation of digital artists, affording them the opportunity to showcase their work through exhibitions of their own.
