I am an animator who aims to create 3D animation films with strong storytelling and vivid characters. Personally, I think it is from life but beyond life. It is a path to a beautiful world, a fantasy. My desire is to be a creative artist, then share my creations and happiness with others. In my opinion, art is from everywhere in life, including my culture, community, and ideas or opinions on something. So I love to collect ideas and inspirations from everyday life. But I also think that art should be beyond life. Thus I combine my ideas from life with my imagination and fantasy.

I usually sketch them down in my sketchbook and later complete them with my imagination into complete digital drawings. I create different scenes or different characters from both my daily life and imagination to make them almost come alive with color and vivid background. After I have characters with strong characteristics, I start to bring them into their own lives: I put them into their own stories and animated them. This is the process of how I created animated films.

Briefly, art is an important part of my life. I will continue developing my techniques and I hope I can present my idea of art to the world.
