About

I'm a visual artist who specialises in colour.

In simple terms, I create colour palettes for animated shows, fine art, and design. On a more complex scale, I utilise the influence of colour on our psyche to develop visual cues in order to propel storytelling. I paint, digitally and traditionally, artworks to elicit emotions. Guided by philosophies in colour theory and colour psychology, my aim is to create vibrant palettes that engage, entertain, and enrich our everyday lives.

Besides my love for colour, I'm also passionate about our environment and animals. The core behind my work is to bring animals, plants, and nature to life. I believe successful art can strengthen our understanding and elicit our interests in the subject matter. I aim to not only bring joy, but also present unassuming characters as unique, living, breathing individuals who deserve their voices heard. 

I love hearing from you! Drop me a hello at jiny.he@gmail.com
