Artist Statement

TO LIVE IS TO TRULY EXIST, NOT REPRESENTING REALITY. THINGS THAT ARE SEEN MAY JUST BE THE SURFACE, AND NOT COMPLETELY REAL.IT IS AN INFINITE DREAM-SPACE BEHIND SEEMING RATIONALITY, WHERE ANY FORM OF MATTER COULD APPEAR OR VANISH IN TRANSIENCE WITHOUT MEANS TO SETTLE.MAN FACES THE UNCONQUERABLE NATURE WITH AN INESCAPABLE SENSE OF RESTRAINT, YET THERE IS ALWAYS A NEED TO CHOOSE BETWEEN STAYING AND FLEEING.THE “TIME TRAVELLER” SERIES IS A DEPICTION OF TRUE PERCEPTIONS OF NATURE AND LIFE, USING INSPIRATIONS SOURCED FROM NATURE AND EVERYDAY LIFE TO RECLAIM THEIR TRUE INNER FEATURES. THE ART WORK RETURNS TO THE PRELIMINARY STATE OF ‘SEEING AS IT IS’. IT EVENTUALLY BECOMES UNRELATED TO ANY BIT OF REALITY, BUT ENLIGHTENMENT PURELY IN ITSELF, UNVEILING THE TRUTH OF THE UNIVERSE.
