Emily Ding is a muralist who draws inspiration from flora, fauna, and human temperament. Her large-scale work is characterized by expressive animals and figures, which come to life through bold color gradients and a fluid, painterly style. Resonating deeply with the phenomena of the natural world, she aims to communicate emotions and experiences, through storytelling with wild creatures and people.
My name is Rigo, I am an artist based in Sacramento California. I have always had a passion for art. I have a degree in Animation and Illustration from San Jose State University. I believe art has no boundaries and brings communities together. My art ranges from animation, drawing, painting, sculptural, to digital. I work with all kinds of mediums and I am always experimenting and finding new mediums to work with. My work is a combination of surrealism mixed with the cultures I grew up with. The subject matter and mediums I work with are always evolving. My goals are to keep creating art and keep inspiring future artists.
