My name is Raven, and I'm an artist in every sense of the word. I love to express myself in many different ways, although painting is my favorite because it demands silence and solitude.Since I was little, I've always had a strong inclination towards drawing. Even before I could speak properly or knew how to write, I would mimic shapes and copy what I saw. At the same time, I was deeply influenced by video games and anime which fueled my love for art, particularly for fantastical worlds, dark themes, and character design. As a child of their era, no works struck me as deeply as Silent Hill and Spirited Away.I discovered the world of digital art when I was 18, and I was immediately captivated by the versatility and infinite possibilities of digital tools. To this day, I haven't stopped painting. 🖤

My inspiration often stems from art and moments that resonate with the depths of my soul. My greatest inspirations are dark fantasy, Japanese culture and animation, and dark art in general. I love Japanese animation created with soul, such as Suzume, Akira, Howl's Moving Castle, Paprika, Ghost in the Shell, etc.I'm the kind of person who treasures art that speaks directly to my soul — the kind I often revisit. If something doesn't deeply and intimately move me, I find it hard to feel drawn to it, or even remember it at all.One thing that consistently accompanies me in my day-to-day life is music, with my safe place being the creations of Akira Yamaoka. My favorite genres are electropop and heavy metal, and among my favorite artists are Grimes, Poppy, Korn and Slaughter to Prevail.

My artistic approach stems from a deep need for freedom and beauty. I strive to create works that evoke a sense of realism and mystery while remaining enjoyable for me to make. I am drawn to the depth of a dark and enigmatic aesthetic. As a passionate artist, I feel compelled to express that passion through beauty and personal freedom—always, of course, from a place of genuine interest. I need to create things that intimately move me. For me, intimacy is the foundation of any work I undertake. Creating solely for the purpose of attracting attention is something that... rather than avoid... I viscerally reject.At the same time, I have struggled for years with strong perfectionist tendencies, my inner structure resembles OCPD patterns — rigid order, perfectionism, and high self-control — though I don’t carry a formal diagnosis. However, despite the incredible difficulty this has caused me, this has not stopped me from expressing myself in the free and authentic way I truly feel and desire.
