ARTIST STATEMENT

Art is my identity, my way of expressing, and the comfortable forms of communication and connection with other people. Using pen as a tool to sketch freely, I begin a piece by sketching un-consciously. Then I use different colors to make multi-layers to create paintings. Some pieces, combine with the wire to make 3D. I know that a piece is done when I feel nothing else to fix or add.
My original world ”Humanimaliving®” -The harmony of both “Human”,”Animal” and ”Life” pre-sent living and breathing creatures on canvases. I use colors, and textures to express dynamic and organic forms. I emphasise in my paintings the complex feelings of animal, human being and living life style around us. My work reflects upon our intricate relationship with the environment. Expressing the feelings that each human being has an individual face and personality. Animals too have different appearances and characters. Things around us have feelings, souls, and that living creatures are all alike in that way. We are living together and always connecting.
I want people to shrink and enter into my world of “Humanimaliving” physically as well as emotionally.
