The importance of aknowledging our life purpose to find out which path we must take.
For a long time, this website was a showcase of my digital art. But now, I decided to do a renovation to make it something different.
The reason? Let me explain a little.
The idea had been added as a “to-do” in my brain three decades before, then had slipped beneath my consciousness. Evidently, it had been in my head all this time, taking up mental space.

When I was young, I dreamed about becoming an illustrator who makees fantasy, anime-style aesthetics. By being raised in a country full of anime, I adopted this visual style naturally. I even thought THIS was the way.
Then, as I got older and experienced life challenges, I became more interested in sharing life tips to help uplift people’s lives.
A similar thing happened to my visual style. I understood that the aesthetic anime style no longer aligned with my needs. But, because of the old belief, I couldn’t give a try on the new direction.
Though, I made a switch from 2D to 3D art. I tried to mix motion graphics with anime art to explain my thoughts on daily topics.
None of these modicications solved my issues. I couldn’t get many social media followers, but I lost lots of them instead. I became much more insecure than before. I needed a radical solution.
I asked myself: Honestly, do I want to continue sharing my artistic vision? Wasn’t I obsessed with the expression style that I used to use?
Eventually, I stepped away from social media platforms for over six months.
If you can live in that value-based, goal-oriented minimalism, it really simplifies your life.

During my break from social media, I was busy reflecting on my life and reprioritizing everything.
Life happened in many ways. And, I didn’t know how life feels easy when its purpose is crystal-clear. My priorities have almost automatically reordered, and thanks to this, I finally could let go of the old belief I mentioned.
I listed my current priorities and criteria as follows:
Now I have no doubts about my direction, and, most importantly, I’m finally able to live in the present moment with my loved ones and with myself, too.
I’m going to make this website a place to output
And I think writing articles is the best first step that I can take.
So, this is how I decided to change the way I output what’s on my mind. But, it doesn’t mean that I neglected my past. The previous version of this website is still accessible, and here’s my Instagram where you can enjoy my 3D (and a few 2D) artworks.
