i finished this piece a while back, and for the past few months, it’s been hanging as a large print on the wall in my bedroom.
falling asleep while gazing at those golden-black calm waters has been a treat.

not often do you have an exact time stamp of when the inspiration was born. this time i did.

not often do you have an exact time stamp of when the inspiration was born. this time i did.
as I stood intimately close to the painting, these golden reflections felt home-like.
they reminded me of the countless times I watched the sun setting over the Pacific on the California coast.
i longed to make it a part of my love letters.
thinking of the how, I took this shot:

every time I visit an art exhibition or museum, i try to find at least one inspiration to bring back to my own art practice.
i found such a "souvenir" in an oil painting by the famous French impressionist Claude Monet, during one of my joyful visits to the iconic Getty Center in Los Angeles.

This is my rebellion.
Not against AI itself, but against the fear that AI marks the death of the artist. Vector Hyperrealism is my commitment to human intention and, considering that nearly half of my works in this direction have been private commissions, I’m happy to say that

From afar, these images might appear photographic. But zoom in, and a different story emerges: each element is a meaningless abstraction on its own. It is to the whole what an ant is to a colony. I’m fascinated by that emergence.

Defining Vector Hyperrealism has become both a technical and philosophical pursuit: a merging of digital tools with the limits of human patience. It’s not just a style experiment: it’s an exploration of how a rigid, mechanical medium, long associated with simplification, can instead be used

Soon, through curiosity and self-reflection, the work evolved – naturally and unexpectedly – into something that began to push beyond the realism end of the axis and into the uncharted territory of visual representation.

Soon, through curiosity and self-reflection, the work evolved – naturally and unexpectedly – into something that began to push beyond the realism end of the axis and into the uncharted territory of visual representation.
With years of experience across multiple mediums behind me, I set out to explore how vector graphics could be used not to simplify but to create realism and depth.
I called it HYPER-DETAILED VECTOR ART.

I loved the art, but not the process: having to wait 20 minutes every time I hit save was unbearable.
Still, the desire to push mediums to their limits never left me.
At the end of 2022, I decided to revisit that longing, but this time, with a plan and a technical solution: vector.

vector graphics are infinitely scalable and prized for their crisp, clean aesthetics. Thus, historically, they’ve been synonymous with minimalism: used in branding, UI, graphic design, and flat illustration. Vector has never been associated with realism, let alone hyperrealism.
Until now.

WHAT IS VECTOR HYPERREALISM?
VECTOR HYPERREALISM is a new frontier in contemporary art -- and the art practice I’ve been quietly and obsessively developing for the past few years.
