Happy City Growing
The painting speaks to humanity’s ability to create smart and sustainable cities in the future.
In creating this painting, I wanted to capture the dynamism and vibrancy of urban growth. The swirling lines and explosive colors evoke a city in constant motion, growing and transforming. Through abstract and expressionistic strokes, I've conveyed the energetic, sometimes chaotic pulse of urban life. This artwork symbolizes resilience and perpetual evolution, with each splash of color representing new opportunities and experiences that cities offer.
I lived in Tokyo for 5 years, and for two of those years, I worked as an English rewriter for the anime/animation industry. I rewrote the English for a Studio Ghibli film, done by Hayao Miyazaki, before it got sold to Disney. In this project and hundreds of other projects, I had to study each anime/animation frame and make sure the translated dialogue sounded natural. Working so closely with such brilliant artists and their artwork, I think their influence sometimes comes out in my artwork today.
