Question 8

Why "Hero"?

Accepted Answer

I come from a background in comics and illustrations and have a passion for drawing monsters and superheroes.

The nickname "Hero" is ironic to me, as it can represent both a traditional hero and an anti-hero, and I enjoy exploring this dichotomy in my work. For over a decade, I signed my paintings and drawings as "Hero" and it became a daily use by people in my home country.

Even some people only know me by that name. One day, my lawyer called me by that name, and it just stuck with me over time.
