Originals

For the destinations that quietly reshaped your story.

These are the places that stay with you long after you’ve left — the ones that shifted your perspective, opened something new, or quietly reshaped who you became.

This collection is inspired by destinations that hold transformative energy: cities where life felt different, landscapes that brought clarity, and moments that marked a before and after.

Many collectors choose pieces from this series to honor a chapter of personal growth or a journey that still feels close to their heart.

My work blends travel photography, memory, and traditional painting.


Each piece begins with a real place — then evolves into a visual story, whether through layered digital montage or hand-painted oils and watercolors.

One-of-a-kind works created with layered brushwork and rich color.
Each painting captures a moment, mood, or story inspired by real experiences.

Songwangsa is a very old Buddhist temple in Suncheon, South Korea. In May, colorful lanterns are hung all over in celebration of Buddha's birthday. A lone monk walks away from the bustle of visitors. His muted clothing blends in with the soft shadows on the ground. A sharp contrast to the vibrant lanterns hanging overhead.
