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.

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 appreciation for craftsmanship is still very much alive. And I believe it’s only going to grow, especially in the face of the approaching generative-content singularity.

I want these works to feel monumental like building a cathedral to human craftsmanship in an age of automation, disposable imagery, and algorithmic shortcuts.

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.

Each piece is drawn entirely by hand in Adobe Illustrator. No autotracing. No shortcuts. Every element, every shadow and every highlight is crafted purposefully, shape by shape. Some works take weeks. Others -- months. The most ambitious to date, "THE GOLDEN STATE" (2024), contains 77,832 individual hand-drawn vector elements.

Just as photorealism once redefined painting in the age of photography, Vector Hyperrealism redefines the possibilities of vector as an art medium. My goal isn’t simply to impress with detail, but to elevate the medium — to reclaim vector from its utilitarian past and reframe it as a tool for fine art.
