He is interested in fancy and weird graphics and animations, and has built his own brand ‘low quality’, collecting and using 80-90's digital products for inspiration.
Toyoya Li specializes in creating prints, animations, and GIFs in pixel form. His works are heavily influenced by early retro 8-bit games and the electronic culture of the 80s and 90s. Using abstract graphics and wild imagination, he creates pixel art that is both trendy and nostalgic.
