He works across both digital and traditional media—including watercolor and oil painting—to create quiet, emotionally resonant illustrations for book covers, editorial projects, and personal work.

Visually, his work is influenced by Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints, particularly the landscapes of the legendary Kawase Hasui. Nâm’s compositions often convey stillness, solitude, and atmosphere. His work is marked by nostalgic blue and green tones, evoking a sense of melancholy, memory, and emotional depth. Through soft gradients and carefully structured scenes, he invites viewers into reflective, quietly moving worlds.
