I work as a programmer on weekdays, but on weekends I work as an artist under the pseudonym Valshia.
Based on the concept of "the way you see changes depending on the viewer", I draw pen art drawn with a white pen on black paper.
When they see my work, some people say, "It looks like there is a bird here," and even in the same part of the same work, "It looks like a turtle shell to me."
"It looks like a dolphin swimming to me," etc., even if I didn't intend to draw any creatures there,
I think that the fact that different things look different to people is the interesting thing about my work, and I think it's a good thing.
I hope that when you see my work, your family, friends, and even new people will enjoy exchanging opinions saying, "I can see this."
Maybe there is a creature hidden that only you can see? Please look for it!
In addition, we are particular about the forehead, using low-reflection acrylic on the surface, and the forehead is not flashy, but with a black thin frame.
This is because my work is an image of the world expanding beyond the forehead.

Valshia Web's Solo Exhibition What you see changes depending on the viewer! ? ~Mysterious art~
Based on the concept of "the way you see changes depending on the viewer", I draw pictures with a white pen on black paper.
Some look like birds, others look like turtle shells or dolphins.
Even if it is the same work, the way you feel it changes depending on the viewer and angle - that kind of freedom is the charm of my work.
There is a "front", but you are free to enjoy it, including the direction you want to decorate.
I would be happy if family, friends, and even people who meet for the first time can enjoy discussing "this is how I look."
