My work explores an overarching theme of an exaggerated ideal of life versus a realistic and mundane reality. These pieces represent two sides of myself that ultimately coexist as both playful and grounded. I wanted to explore many new mediums and get a grasp on how to create interesting ideas and compositions that focused on characters and telling a story. Each piece demanded a different skillset and knowledge, which is representative of the unpredictability in the exaggerated pieces.

My work explores an overarching theme of an exaggerated ideal of life versus a realistic and peaceful reality. I have always used art as a medium to express passion for my interests, culture, and imagination. This year, I wanted to explore different mediums and get a grasp on how to create compositions that focused on characters and telling a story. Through expressing the fantastical side of the world I want to live in, my sustained investigation seeks to answer: “How can I design and develop characters while exaggerating real life?”

In Pieces 1-3, I experimented with different mediums and materials, and learned how to create dark colors with watercolor and cleanly lay down colored pencils. During Pieces 3-7, I found that working with gouache brought the exact colors I wanted to my work and I started to derive from human characters to practice drawing caricatures of animals. Pieces 8-10 are compact compositions planned using digital color mockups. In Pieces 13-15, I integrated characters with their environment in order to add more depth and clear emotion to the scenarios, continuing to use layering techniques and complementary colors to create specific vibes.
