- ARTIST STATEMENT
- As a painter of abstract expressionism, I am curious to discover and learn something new.
- I do my best to keep my ambitions away from the painting process and let the work develop on its own.
- I utilise the energy of the moment in order to match the colors with the movement of the brush stroke or knife. Sometimes I incorperate words or stenceled images into the paintings or experiment with other mediums or materials.
- For me, it is always about expressing the vibes of my personal life in the context of the current world affairs.
