Horror has always fascinated audiences — not just because it scares us, but because it invites us to feel something raw, unfamiliar, and strangely beautiful.

While reading Barnell Anderson’s Entertainment Now review of The Conjuring: Last Rites, I noticed more than just critics’ praise for another successful entry in the franchise. What stood out was how deeply modern cinema continues to celebrate the unsettling and the unexplained — and how much we, as viewers, crave that feeling.

There’s an undeniable artistry in discomfort. The stillness before a scare, the dim glow of a single light in a shadowed room, or the way silence can make your pulse quicken — these are the visual cues that define the horror experience. They capture our curiosity and hold it hostage.

That’s the world I explore through my work: visually unsettling pieces that stir emotion while honoring the greats of the genre.

Drawing inspiration from classic horror imagery — like the bold title design of Psycho or those haunting still frames that make your imagination run wild — my goal is to translate cinematic tension into visual art. Each piece should make you feel something: anticipation, fear, awe, or even beauty in the grotesque.

As a concept designer, I’m inspired by how filmmakers guide emotion through tone, atmosphere, and detail. My aim is to do the same through design — creating artwork that captures the essence of cinematic storytelling, one frame at a time.
