Artist Statement
“I received classical training and education representing reality as it unfolds in front of your eyes. Currently I use memories and experiences in my process not concern with technical rules but mostly how it makes you feel. Art is the unbridled expression of the human soul. There is a freedom that I feel when I use any color or lines within the canvas, and it brings the image of sky, water, flowers or other figures that can seductively represent images, of lands or places – even when not intentionally planned. It is the joy of departing from reality and memories into possibilities, and I hope the viewer can experience and feel this freedom, too.”
