Vietnamese Spirit · Long Lac Heart Reunion

Oil on canvas | April 2026
A first-year final piece rooted in Vietnamese identity — the painting weaves together the Áo dài, a Lý-Trần dynasty dragon, and the ancient Lạc bird into a single canvas. It began as a school project and became a love letter to a culture I carry everywhere I go.

The Fantastic Four: First Dreams Posters

Photoshop Compositing | Late 2025 - Ongoing
A multimedia art project exploring childhood imagination and artistic identity through the visual language of Marvel's Fantastic Four. Combining graphic design, photography, illustration, and cinematic composition — this is my journey toward becoming an artist, lived out alongside my superheroes in New York City.

Illustration

I produce editorial, commercial, and pictorial illustrations that work equally well on screen and in print — combining digital precision with traditional composition instincts.

Literature

I write the stories behind the work — narrative backstories, mythologies, and artist statements that give each piece a literary and philosophical layer, so viewers leave with more than just an image.

Photography

From technical studio setups and off-camera lighting to post-production and model direction, I bring a full production eye to every shoot.

Motion Graphic

I bring my illustrations to life through After Effects, Lottie, and Rive — turning static work into animated moments built for social media and digital display.

Special Project

I create unified conceptual systems that execute a single narrative theme across multiple disciplines simultaneously. Combining structural painting, character design layouts, digital composites, and copywriting, I construct deep visual experiences that explore complex personal and cultural ideas.

BEHIND THE CANVAS

Get To Know My Process Of Making Meaningful Work

Every piece I make follows the same four-stage process from research and rough sketches all the way through to final rendering and delivery. Click each stage to go deeper.

stage i

Ideation Research Mindmap

I initiate a project by conducting conceptual research, organizing reference images, swatches, and structuring narrative ideas to build a solid cultural or stylistic foundation.

stage ii

Sketching Composition Color

Second, I transition into loose anatomical drawing, linear sketching, and digital grayscale then color experimenting to establish grid hierarchies, focal points, and lighting layouts.

stage iii

Material Transferring Rendering

I bring my drafted compositions to life by transferring it into physical canvas setups or building high-resolution digital layers to resolve form, values, and organic textures.

stage iv

Polishment Curation Publication

Finally, I apply the final chromatic and color-shifting, typographic layouts, and structural finishes to format the completed work for high-impact print editions, web layouts, or gallery displays.
