Painting is an attitude about life.
Painting gives me faith, because I know what I have been through.
Painting teaches me to be humble, because there are so many things I do not know.
I want to paint what I see.
I see things very directly. I only select the form or color, which really speak to me. I am using personal symbols to tell the story of thing which I care. They come from nature and the relationship between people/things and God/me.
Much of my painting is about building layer after layer of paint; I do this both for the texture and for the stories. They can be read as a history of the canvas, different time in one stage and as the mass of color they become.
I love color.
I paint the color of red.
I want to push red as far as it can go.
Red is hot, red is blood, red is energy.
I love red and I paint red.
I love form.
I draw the form of circle.
It could be an egg: the life itself.
It could be a manna: the food from heaven.
It could be a watermelon: the fruit that I enjoy.
It could be a window: to lead you to another landscape.
It could be an eye: but what an eye.
Life is not easy but still beautiful.
Using color and form, I want to focus on that beauty.
I want use it to share, to comfort, and to celebrate.
My need is to go beyond pretty to encompass true beauty.
My mission is to bring fresh light to things so familiar that we no longer notice them. I want to make people look at them as if for the first time, with the excitement of a child receiving a new gift.
Painting is my prayer.
Through my painting--
May you smell different season of life.
Have a date with surprise! Or…. Just simply a smile.
