Illustration is a magical process that lets me transform ideas—whether realistic or fantastical—into something tangible and expressive. It's my way of capturing the essence of concepts and emotions, turning them into visuals that convey clear messages. Through illustration, I can bridge the gap between imagination and reality, bringing stories and insights to life in a way that words alone can't achieve. It's a deeply personal and fulfilling way to share my vision and connect with others on a meaningful level.

Échos Sous Les Vagues
February 2025, Fountain pen and watercolor


Beneath a silent sea, Monaco is transformed. The Japanese Garden, a jewel of the Principality, flourishes underwater, gently rocked by the current. In the background, the mountains and buildings blend into the waves, a reminder of our world's fragility in the face of climate change.
Two fish, the Mediterranean Ornate Wrasse and the Japanese Red Swallowfish, swim freely, symbolizing the connection between these two territories united by water. In this submerged landscape, nature and urbanism coexist, creating a space suspended in time where borders fade away. Water, far from dividing, unites.
Between wonder and contemplation, Échos Sous Les Vagues invites us to admire the beauty of these places and to imagine a future where harmony between nature and civilization becomes essential.

Connected Yet Disconnected
Drawn in Photoshop, May 2022

"Connected Yet Disconnected" explores how devices designed to enhance our lives can turn us into tools and toys, disconnecting us from our humanity.
I reinterpreted Salvador Dali's Persistence of Memory by melting devices instead of clocks, symbolizing how gadgets consume our time. The painting features a landscape reminiscent of Dali's homeland, with a central melting phone hinting at its identity through a side button.
I used Legos to represent the toy-like nature of our devices. Just as we eagerly explore new gadgets, Legos engage with electronics, showing how users become toys themselves. The faceless Legos signify lost identities.
The background cloud symbolizes digital connectivity, while the evolution of devices—from corded phones to handheld smartphones and room-sized computers to SD cards—highlights our increasing detachment from reality.
In my digital painting, Legos are absorbed in their devices, connected virtually but disconnected in reality, emphasizing our growing virtual bonds at the expense of real-world connections.

Sizzling Seoul: A walk through Ktown in New York City
February 2024, Fountain pen and alcohol markers


Wandering through Manhattan's Korea Town, I find a mix of culture, food, and shops. The streets are lively with Hangul signs, adding a touch of tradition to the urban scene. I liked the constant presence of food creates an ongoing atmosphere of conviviality. There's a continuous invitation to share meals and moments with others. The shops, ranging from K-pop trends to traditional items, offer a variety of choices. In this neighborhood, the simplicity of everyday life intertwines with a colorful blend of cultural elements, making it a unique and interesting place to explore.
