Hello, my name is Ellie Jayyoung Ryo, a visual development and background artist from South Korea, based in LA, California. My creative journey focuses on illustrating an environment that grasps the beauty from reality and brings it into a piece of painting that portrays a distinctive color palette that goes beyond reality. I treat background painting more than simply painting what the place looks like, but as a communication tool with people to give a sense of authenticity to the image.
