Obsidian Dawn - A Cinematic AI Generated Journey

Editing: Premiere Pro

License Music: ‪Mon Amour @Artlist

I’ve just completed my very first 3-minute AI-generated music video, and it’s been quite a journey! My main goal was to infuse it with my own aesthetic, fashion sense, and visual style, paired with the music I chose to bring my imagination to life. Through endless trials—tweaking the rhythm, perfecting the visual effects, and syncing the beats—I faced my share of challenges and frustrations. In the end, I’d rate myself a 70/100. It’s not perfect yet, but it’s a solid start, and I’m determined to make the next one even better!

Tokyo Nights: A Cinematic Journey Through My Lens

This is my first attempt at creating a cinematic journey, and I wanted to do something different. Instead of following the usual travel video formula, I focused on blending my personal aesthetic vision with the limited footage I captured. Set to the mesmerizing track Jozeque - Morning Caffe from Artlist, this video is a love letter to Tokyo’s nights—its neon glow, quiet moments, and endless energy.

The figure's posture reflects quiet yearning, her heart reaching beyond the horizon. The flowers lean toward her, drawn by the same invisible force, whispering of unseen places and untaken paths. This scene embodies longing—a blend of hope, nostalgia, and the ache for the unattainable.

In art is not a flaw but a deliberate choice to explore the boundaries of perception and emotion. It invites us to see the world differently—to appreciate the soft edges, the hidden meanings, and the spaces where reality and imagination intertwine.

Expressions l Emotions l Archive

When we create art, we pour our emotions and feelings into it, giving it life and meaning. Now, as I explore the world of AI-generated art, I’m striving to do the same—to inject my emotions and energy into this new technology. While generating images and videos is easy, the real challenge lies in forging a deeper emotional connection with this medium. The key? Crafting the right prompt. It’s not just about telling the AI what to create; it’s about guiding it to feel what I feel, to see what I see, and to translate my inner world into something tangible. This journey is about bridging the gap between human emotion and machine creativity, and I’m excited to see where it takes me.

silent - pencil, graphite and digital, edited with photoshop and wacom

In our lives, we often feel an urge to scream out our frustrations, yet in certain situations, no matter how loud we are, people choose to ignore us. It's as if this bird is teasing, asking, "Why are you even bothering to scream?"

jazz and R&B

jazz and R&B - wacom and photoshop

Raphael Saadiq and Miles Davis are both influential musicians, though from different eras and genres. I often imagine them collaborating together. In this piece, I try to use different techniques to express my love for jazz and R&B.

random illustrations - pencil, ink, procreate

This series of illustrations doesn’t follow a single theme or serve any specific purpose—they are all created spontaneously, driven by emotion. They might be inspired by music I listened to during a certain period, films I watched, experiences I went through, or conversations I had. Each piece is an improvised expression of those moments.

I drew this piece at my home in Canada while my mom was seriously ill. It contains a lot of personal emotions, including confusion and grief. My emotions were very negative at the time.

In Due Time - pencil, ink and brushes on paper, procreate and photoshop


A young woman stands with her back exposed, her long hair flowing freely in the air. The fluidity of her hair contrasts with her still posture, suggesting a quiet acceptance of time’s inevitable passage. The organic movement of the hair, blending into the surrounding space, evokes the untamed and unpredictable nature of time—something that cannot be controlled but must simply be endured. The monochromatic palette reinforces the timeless, introspective mood, allowing the viewer to sense the weight of waiting.

A topless man with a shaved head stands rigid, his back turned to the us. His posture is tense, embodying control and endurance. The absence of hair hints at an intentional clearing, a readiness for what is to come. In contrast to the woman’s flowing hair, his form is encased in stillness, symbolizing a stoic confrontation with the passing of time.

codeLab pop-up store - mixed materials, photoshop, lightboxs

Situated on the 2nd floor of Landmark Plaza Central, the Codelab pop-up store showcases a curated selection of exquisite boutique items and artworks from Paris and the UK. The space seamlessly blends illustrations and graphic designs, offering visitors a unique and immersive experience. The pop-up will run for approximately six months, and I am responsible for all the illustrations featured in the venue.

marble sculptures

marble sculptures - procreate

There was a period of time when I was deeply fascinated by the art of the Renaissance and Neoclassical periods, especially sculptures. It’s hard to imagine how the artists of that time could carve marble with such incredible precision and beauty. I spent two consecutive days at the Louvre Museum admiring many sculptures, including ancient Greek and Roman masterpieces. I hope that in the future, when I have more time, I can draw more works inspired by these sculptures.

lena

lena - wacom and photoshop

Lena is from Hong Kong and Portugal. She is a friend I met about 15 years ago. During that time, we talked a lot about personal issues, including her relationship problems. Her experiences inspired me. These illustrations are ones I made for her back then.

I created illustrations for the wine column of HK Tatler for around two years. The biggest challenge was producing illustrations that looked like detailed watercolor paintings while working under very tight deadlines.
