Digital innovation that sketches the future with a fingertip
Digital innovation that sketches the future with a fingertip.
I am an artist who transcends the boundaries of digital art, constantly seeking innovative forms of expression.
For over 25 years, I have been creating art using a single smartphone while traveling the world.
By merging digital technology with analog techniques, my works give birth to new forms of art.
I view art not merely as a visual object but as a space for dialogue with the audience. For me, each piece serves as a medium of communication, where I strive to blend the precision of digital technology with the warmth of analog expression. Beyond the confines of digital tools, I cherish the “human touch” inherent in art.
My works have been exhibited at numerous international art events. I continue to actively present my art at biennales, film festivals, and galleries worldwide, persistently challenging myself to shape the future of art.
