A stylized city

Johnathan Chen | Architectural Visualization Artist

With over 8 years of experience as an architectural visualization artist, I specialize in bridging the gap between architectural design and emotional storytelling. My passion lies in transforming conceptual drawings and raw 3D models into photorealistic imagery and immersive experiences that not only represent a space but evoke a feeling and sell a vision.

I possess a deep understanding of lighting, composition, and materiality, treating every project as a unique narrative. From a serene residential interior at golden hour to a dynamic, large-scale urban development, my goal is to create visuals that are not just technically accurate but also compelling and market-ready.
