ARTIST STATEMENT
My abstract paintings are inspired by nature structures, especially the richness of the flora or landscapes, and also nature elements. When I start to depict images on the canvas, which has already been envisioned as abstract pictures in my mind, thus it becomes as a faithful portray of the moment. The images come to me often when I’m experiencing open-minded moments by realizing something new, or somewhere I never thought I’d be in physically or emotionally. Sometimes I encounter writings that perfectly represent my thoughts or moments of experiences. Also, when I hear music that fits my feelings with the sights I’m looking at, and those moments create my own abstract images by combining the scenes that I capture with the emotion attached.
To me, each color embodies a moment of experience. It seems to make more sense when an individual color is mixed with a different color unintentionally, even though each color is carefully chosen, and developed to be something unexpected, it fits more perfectly to represent my paintings. I’d like to create an opportunity what paintings can show the viewers throughout the day, giving different organic experiences in the audience’s eye each time they look at and finding images unseen before.
