CREATIVE STATEMENT
Over the years, my expertise in editorial illustration has grown through continuous experimentation with various styles and techniques, influenced by internet culture, animation, comics, Surrealism, and Chinese folk decorative art. As a specialized editorial illustrator, I stay current with events and trends to inform my visual storytelling. What I cherish most about editorial illustration is its ability to distill complex concepts into captivating visuals that provoke meaningful conversations. To create successful editorial illustrations, I emphasize understanding the intended message and maintaining a balance between creativity and clarity. For me, the key qualities of impactful editorial work are visual appeal and strong conceptual delivery, ensuring the illustration grabs attention and effectively conveys its message. To hone my skills, I consistently tackle challenging projects and seek feedback from peers and industry professionals to stay sharp in a rapidly evolving field.
