Niyathi's 2023 Spring Portfolio

Welcome to my page!

Artist Statements:

My AP portfolio's investigation explores the idea of dreams. Using a created character, I explored my own experiences in my dreams, what they look like, how they affect me, and how I express them. My likes are represented in my dreams through motifs of cats, stars, and other warm feelings. My dislikes are represented through motifs of thalassophobia and liminality. These feelings are important, as they shape and influence my dreamscape. 

My personal works are influenced by my own interests. When creating for myself, I enjoy drawing fanart for my own enjoyment or my friends. I also have an affinity for warm, pastel hues, which I reflected in my AP portfolio, as they envoke serene emotions that I enjoy working with. I am interested in persuing illustration and character design as a future career, as seen in my works. 

Aside from drawing, I am a hobbyist jewelry maker. 

All pieces are digital, made in IbisPaintX with an IPad and Apple Pen; All are 12x12 inches.
