He speaks in depth about what goes on behind the scenes, from the personal touches in his signature to his daily production routine and passion for his work. With his participation in the 2025 Osaka Expo on the horizon, his commitment to growth and new forms of expression reflects a sincere approach to his art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Behind the Scenes of Art Creation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>B- Is there anything particular about how you write your signature?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>GUWEIZ-<\/strong> To be honest, I think it works just fine as long as it has my name. But as an artist, adding some visual flair makes it easier for people to recognize. So I made the &#8220;G&#8221; in \u201cGuweiz\u201d larger and stretched out the \u201cZ\u201d at the end to make it stand out. I\u2019m not sure if you\u2019d call that a serious design decision, but it\u2019s been working pretty well so far!

At the same time, I juggle teaching, commercial projects, and other responsibilities. As a result, things don\u2019t always go as I planned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>B- How long does it take to finish one piece, or how many hours do you usually draw in a day?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>GUWEIZ-<\/strong> Some works can take up to 200 hours, and sometimes I even scrap a piece halfway through if I\u2019m not satisfied. I used to draw for more than 16 hours a day back in the day, but I spend about 12 hours now because I\u2019m not that young anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>B- When you feel stuck or frustrated during the creative process, how do you deal with it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>GUWEIZ-<\/strong> Umm, let me see. I think everyone has different ways to cope. For me, I just keep drawing through the frustration instead of trying to relieve the stress. Sometimes I put on YouTube or music in the background to relax while I work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>B- Is there anything you absolutely need in your workspace?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>GUWEIZ-<\/strong> YouTube, for sure. Whether it\u2019s music or just some random video, it\u2019s always playing in the background. If it\u2019s too quiet, I actually find it harder to focus. So a little background noise works better for me.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/en.boundless-art.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/unnamed-9-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-207\" style=\"width:700px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/en.boundless-art.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/unnamed-9-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/en.boundless-art.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/unnamed-9-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/en.boundless-art.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/unnamed-9-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/en.boundless-art.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/unnamed-9-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/en.boundless-art.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/unnamed-9-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/en.boundless-art.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/unnamed-9-1400x1050.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/en.boundless-art.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/unnamed-9.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">His Studio<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>B- Do you have any specific habits or routines when creating art?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>GUWEIZ-<\/strong> I wake up, brush my teeth, eat breakfast, and then get to work. That\u2019s my routine. Since I live and work in the same space, there\u2019s not much separation between daily life and creation. I don\u2019t focus on sticking to a routine \u2014 what matters to me is the pure desire to create.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u201cI want to create what I think is truly beautiful.\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>B- Where does that motivation come from?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>GUWEIZ-<\/strong> That\u2019s a good question. At the core, I just want to create and complete something. But more than that, I want to share my work with the people who love it.<br>The opportunity to show others what you love is actually quite rare and valuable. I believe everyone has the desire to share something they\u2019re passionate about \u2014 like when you show a friend a cool YouTube video and they don\u2019t really react. It&#8217;s disappointing, right? I\u2019m really grateful that so many fans out there genuinely enjoy my work. That makes me want to create something truly great \u2014 something visually cool and packed with the elements I love. And the fact that there are people who want to see it. that\u2019s what keeps me going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>B- Is there anything you consciously keep in mind while working on a piece?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>GUWEIZ-<\/strong> Every time I create, I try to surpass my previous work. But it\u2019s hard to do so since I draw something completely different each time, so it can\u2019t be easily compared. What\u2019s important is the challenge of expressing something I haven\u2019t done before. There\u2019s an endless world to explore from modern cityscapes to historical themes, architecture, fashion, and characters.<br>My goal is to keep challenging myself with new forms of expression and to create something that I can genuinely say, \u201cThis is cool!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>B- How do you feel digital art has evolved or expanded in expression by becoming physical through MCA? And what\u2019s your impression of MCA itself?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<strong>GUWEIZ-<\/strong> The way I express my work has definitely expanded. In particular, the 2.5D expression of Metal Canvas Art (MCA) has a unique appeal. Unlike full 3D, it lets you control how the work is viewed more precisely, making it easier to convey the artist\u2019s original intention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>B- Now that it\u2019s 2025, what challenges are you hoping to take on?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>GUWEIZ-<\/strong> Right now, I\u2019m focusing on preparing for the Osaka International Artfair aka OIA. I don\u2019t want to spread myself too thin \u2014 I want to concentrate on this one big opportunity. Events of this scale don\u2019t come around often, so I want to give it everything I\u2019ve got and see it through properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>B- Do you have any dreams or goals as an artist, beyond just digital art?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>GUWEIZ-<\/strong> I don\u2019t think I\u2019m particularly accomplished yet \u2014 there\u2019s still so much I need to learn. For now, I just want to keep drawing and growing steadily as an artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>B- Lastly, is there any project you\u2019re working on or something you\u2019d like to share?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>GUWEIZ-<\/strong> I\u2019ll be participating in the Osaka International Artfair aka OIA, and I\u2019m really looking forward to meeting lots of fans there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"color:#32373c;background-color:#392F43\" class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-notice gb-font-size-18 gb-block-notice\" data-id=\"1ea87e\"><div class=\"gb-notice-title\" style=\"color:#fff\"><p>OIA TICKET GIVEAWAY CAMPAIGN NOW LIVE!<\/p><\/div><div class=\"gb-notice-text\" style=\"border-color:#392F43\">\n<p><strong>Ready to experience the world of GUWEIZ \u201cin real life\u201d? <\/strong><strong>Now\u2019s your chance!
