“I am a painter who is always searching for possibilities of what artwork can express in the balance of colours, lines, texture and brush strokes.
I strive to reproduce the reality I was feeling while sketching into my paintings.
Furthermore, I focus on the implication of composition and creative uses of perspectives
I also value the study of matière, which is said to be “the skin of the artist themselves”.
I recognize the reality of chaos as it is, where many elements have complicated connections and relationships. I don’t put them within the limited space of the canvas, but show them in my paintings as they are, in their unique balance and dimensions.”
