Bio
My artwork focuses on monochrome. By removing color, I reduce visual distractions and give the viewer more freedom to interpret the piece. Without color, the artwork does not have one fixed meaning, like a blank canvas. It allows the viewer to connect it with their own memories and experiences. Through form, composition, and shading, I encourage the viewer to recall past events, emotions, and memories, and find their own meaning in the work.
One reason I create this type of art is because I feel that art can sometimes seem distant or hard to understand, especially for those without special knowledge. I believe art should be easy to approach and open to everyone, regardless of background. Through my work, I want to show that art is not just for experts, but for anyone to discover and interpret in their own way.
By giving viewers the freedom to interpret, the work becomes multi-dimensional and sparks dialogue.
This dialogue is central to my work, as different interpretations make art a richer and more diverse experience.
