ABOUT

Hello, I’m Sil (pronounced like the “sil” part in silver or silk), a Eurasian-American independent digital creator who has been creating digital illustrations and taking gaming photos/videos since 2016.I specialize in digital illustration/art, photo and video editing, and graphic design. I’ve combined both self-taught skills and a B.S. in graphic design (2025) to craft visually compelling stories through my creative works. My inspiration is drawn from both real and gaming worlds, comics and anime, and from my imagination.I embrace my unique creative journey by embracing the imperfections, authenticity to oneself, and personal heritage along the way. Above all, I prioritize quality over quantity to create meaningful works that connect and inspire.

AUTHENTIC EXPRESSION

For me, being a creative is more than aesthetics and appealing to trends. It is a way to express and honor our authentic selves, to share and tell stories, and to connect people. With these values in mind, I created my motto: “Believe and be you.”This motto reminds me to be my true authentic self, to believe in myself and my abilities, and to express and embrace my individuality. Authenticity alone is not just about being different and standing out; it’s about being honest, genuine, and true with yourself and others.I value authenticity because I am honoring my identity and journey, nurturing meaningful connections, and most importantly, the human aspect in my creative work. AI will never be used throughout my process or through my creative work.
