Artist Bio
I'm an artist specializing in Miniature Painting, deeply inspired by Japanese culture. My artistic journey began in college, where I discovered the perfect fusion of my love for art and storytelling. Drawn to soft pastel tones, I hold a deep admiration for Persian Miniature Art's delicate brushwork and light colors, reminiscent of Oriental painting. My fascination with symbolism in mangas and manhwas enriches my work. My mission is to preserve traditional art and culture, fostering emotional connections and sharing positive messages. Through the blend of Eastern techniques with Miniature Painting, I aspire to uplift my cultural heritage, inspiring others to appreciate its profound richness.
