About Me

My art journey began in 2018 when I was burnt out from my software engineering job after being in the industry for more than a decade. Feeling stuck and lost of words for all the emotions that were going through my mind, I grabbed a pencil and started drawing.

I didn't like my drawings. Without any art background my drawings looked so bad in my eyes - proportions were off, lines looked stiff and unnatural. On and on that judgmental voice kept screaming in my head while I draw. But I needed an outlet, I felt like I would burst if I don't find one.

So I kept on drawing. Weird figures started to take shapes, drawings that didn't make any sense but just felt so right to me, like that's exactly how I'd describe my feelings - a man with a head made of masks, a kid pulling luggages with her heart. Drawing became therapeutic for me, and each piece of my art becomes a snapshot of my emotions at the moment. 

I try to stay free in my art, to stay true to my feelings, both negative and positive, and let them flow to the paper without any filters. I hope by sharing my art, my feelings, that others can relate to them and find comfort in knowing that we're not alone, we're all in this thing called "life" together.

Here's to my first real drawing -
