I poured vibrant energy into this acrylic piece, using abstract expressionism to capture the dynamic pulse of future cities—alive, interconnected, and thriving. The swirling colors and fragmented cityscapes reflect hope and innovation, inviting the viewer to feel the rhythm of progress. This painting brings a lively, inspiring vibe to any space, sparking imagination and optimism about the smart, healthy urban worlds ahead.
This painting is part of my Smart City Art series, which celebrates smart city technology and sustainability. This series was featured at the 2025 SRI Sustainability Research and Innovation International Congress in June. The science is already here. This work speaks artistically and sociologically.
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.
