“Polar bear mountain”

As motifs for my works, I often choose “nature” and “life”. Through these motifs, I’m conscious of the coexistence of opposites, such as coincidence and destiny, reality and fantasy, 3D and 2D.

I try to express things through my art that cannot be put into words.

However, the most important thing is that people enjoy the pop and fun worldview. Everyone has a different perspective and therefore a different way of perceiving art. The most important thing for me is that people enjoy my art.

Don't think too much, just have fun!

In life, there are good and bad times. Sometimes, we try to coexist with nature and tame it, but that's not always easy.

I believe we should accept things as they are and if we find ourselves in an uncomfortable situation, we should build each other up because we only live once. My goal is to bring joy with my art.

Wait for the idea and fight with color

The most time-consuming part of the production process is the conceptual phase.

Various thoughts are swirling in my head, ranging from the remnants of a memory from more than ten years ago to an idea that came to me five minutes ago.

I wait for them to come together naturally and put them into a painting.

I also simply love paints and I always enjoy the texture of the paints as I mix them together. It appeals like living things.

However, it’s not so easy to create the colors that I imagine in my mind. For example, there is a subtle difference between “the blue of a calm sky” and “the blue of a sky that is calm but slightly threatening.”

That’s why sometimes I feel like I “fight” with the paint while creating. But the “fight” is also interesting for me.

To display a painting is to feel the joy of living

One day a friend who had one of my paintings sent me a message. He said, “Your picture creates a good start of conversation” because he hangs it on his front door and everyone comments on it.

There are also a lot of pictures in my daughter’s room and we have time to talk about art.

When there is art at home, it opens up a variety of possibilities and discoveries in our daily lives. I hope that through the artworks you have more time to communicate with your family and visitors, discover surprises and interesting things.
