who am i?
Hey everyone! I'm Steph! The artist and creative mind behind YumeVista: a retro-futuristic dreamworld shaped by nostalgia, pop surrealism and the vibrant futures we were once promised.
Welcome to my world:
a universe where nostalgia becomes new again,
and the future we lost becomes alive.
my journey
My roots begin in classical fine art. I studied academic drawing and oil painting at DinRic Art School, later expanding into digital painting, motion graphics, 3D art, and animation through advanced online courses. This blend of traditional craftsmanship with digital world-building became the key to my signature style:
soft painterly emotion fused with 3D color, neon architecture, and surreal characters.
YumeVista is born from the nostalgia I’ve carried since childhood: the vibrant optimism of 80s, 90s and early 00s aesthetics, the dreamy strangeness of retro Japanese pop culture, and colorful retro gaming.
These eras built a vision of the future that felt bright, imaginative, and full of possibility.
I’ve always felt connected to that aesthetic and I’ve made it my mission to bring that future back.
My work merges city pop aesthetics, pop surrealism, vaporwave futurism and visionary art, creating hyper-saturated worlds where retro tech, tropical dreamscapes, and kawaii creatures coexist. Every piece is a portal: a place where memory, emotion, and imagination melt into glowing colors and cinematic dream-logic.
