My objective as a painter is to create a
comprehensive view of the universe. Color
has been one of the main characteristics
of my work.
By first dripping paint onto my canvas, I
create a situation in which color spreads
and is absorbed onto the canvas. This process
is repeated again and again.
I aim to create both a controlled and uncontrolled
structure. The result enables the viewer
to observe the murmur/shout of the color
and to understand the importance of color
to themselves and to the universe.
Traditional Japanese brush techniques complete
my work by creating additional layer on my
canvas. This further develops the structure
and framework of the final composition by
juxtaposing two diverse techniques wishing
my images have unlimited images on it.
Each time I approach my materials I encounter
an intense battle, driven by internal forces.
It is this dramatic process of color and
form manipulation, compelled by my inner
perceptions which brings power and depth
to my work.
