Vibrant Architecture in Reykjavik's City Center Collage

A blend of contrast in Reykjavik's city center with modern and sleek architecture mixed with simple, Scandinavian designs.

The use of solid primary and secondary colors brighten the neighborhood (and ones' day) during winter's everchanging weather patterns. 

Faded Hexagon Art: Pastel Bubbles Background Effect

Fun background designs, faded effects, and soft yet bright, pastel colors continue to awaken our senses. 

I was inspired by the creative, painterly digital art from a manga and had to create my own rendition of it, infusing my favorite colors and blending in different textures. 

Purple Painterly Effect: Sensational Night Light Reflections

Singapore's Waterfront Promenade offers picturesque views of the city skyline. The unique ArtScience museum takes the lead with its famous design and vibrant purple-blue reflections over the waters. 

I used a similar color scheme as the dazzling lights to sweep the sky with a soft yet striking painterly effect.

Painterly Sunset Strokes at Prospect Lake

Memorial Park Part III: Clouds begin to form and merge at sunset, casting an orange glow over the calm waters. 

The colors and clouds create soft, wispy strokes of art, resembling a dreamy painting as the light begins to brighten, darken, and fade away. 

Textured Pastel + Paint Strokes Imagery

Soft pastel colors always create a dreamy, ethereal, and delicate look & feel.

I absolutely love mixing various shades of pastels across digital art creations and wanted to create a piece dedicated to some of my favorite hues in a painterly strokes type-of-fashion. 

Sunset and Water Colors: Painterly Vibes

The golden hour is the best time of the day. 

Especially while watching the sunset colors from the other side of the city, all the changing hues in the sky and cool water effects. 

This is such a serene spot and I decided to incorporate extra painterly effects so it resembles more like a painting. 

Painterly Swirl Effect: Pastel Colors in the World

I started playing around with different paint strokes in Photoshop, choosing soft pastel hues ranging from yellow, green and purple to pink and blue. Originally this was going to be an abstract piece but after changing up the effects, I decided to turn it into a swirl design. What's fascinating is how this looks like an actual painting, not created digitally.

Pastel Painterly Strokes of Art Effect

I have been obsessed with the latest trend popping up all over spring--painterly style prints, art, and design. The pastel and bold hues bring extra optimism into our lives while still adding that extra pop of color. 

I was inspired to mix up a bunch of different pastel hues from across the rainbow, adding in random paint strokes (while creating layers and layers of them) and other textures to create this piece here. 

Rainbow Vision: Soft Waves and Clouds in Lake Waters

After a rainy turned sunny day, I took a walk around the lake and captured this nice shot of the water. It was a normal peaceful image and I decided to enhance it a bit with extra saturation, a change in hue, contrast, and an extra rainbow edge in the waves. I also added in some painterly effects to give it a nice, smooth picturesque vibe, resembling a painting.
