Valshia
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.
