Artist Statement
Creation is an outcome of my repeated simple painting works and it might be originated from my accumulated life experience unconsciously. I have always been moved to express my ideas that are motivated by a positive emotion, a feeling of anxiety and dissatisfaction with the status quo. Such feelings deep in my heart power drive towards artistic creation. My paintings are the expression of my sensitivity, following my instincts. It is an attempt to pour such feelings into an image.
