Painting
I believe my works exist in between images and substances. The paper is necessary to fix
my image; I drop paints, make holes, and/ or change the texture of the surface. My works
are completed with these processes. My images become a substance when I am
integrated with and breathing with a paper. Above all are my thoughts towards twodimensional
expressions. Then, I face to the issue about colour and shape, yet, colour is
more important to me. The colours I use are created by combination of the three primary
colours; red, yellow and blue. I let these colours to express by themselves. However, they
all come out through the filter within me. How would I express the life is the theme of my
works.
