I am submitting this artwork because I believe the intersection of art and crime is highly relevant. True crime has become extremely popular online and has fostered its own engaged community. As an artist, I have always processed and communicated existential events—this time through the lens of true crime analysis.
Often, YouTubers or podcasters speculate about possible events in a case, and I feel compelled to visualize those moments. However, this approach is sometimes met with backlash or misunderstanding, which can be discouraging, even though it feels natural for me to express myself this way and contribute to the community.
Lately, I have begun incorporating AI to add layers of biblical referencing, particularly against acts of evil, to provide context and nuance that distinguishes my work from mere fan art. While I do enjoy horror and am drawn to dark themes, I do not support criminals. My work reflects the supply-and-demand dynamic of an audience that seeks realism, suspense, stimulation, and the challenge of solving puzzles.
I draw instinctively, without rigid rules, allowing my creativity to flow naturally. Through my art, I aim to explore the psychological, moral, and cultural dimensions of true crime in a way that engages viewers thoughtfully and viscerally.
