Artist Statement

"Talent is one gift indispensable to all artists;
no study, no degree of patience supplies its place..."

Tree Rooted in Heaven

In a complete revolution, complacency turns on its axis, life throws somersaults, the void pulsates and the rhythm cells accentuate. Dawn's first light shines forth— a tree rooted in heaven.

Boldness

Oil and Ink on Canvas
48 in x 36 in

Black and white are the source of illusory abstraction. I use oil paint and calligraphy ink to excavate the abstract images and converge them with my inner thoughts, time and space on canvas. In between the minimal imagery and nominal color choices, the painting evolves simultaneously in rhythmic movement that no one knew it was living or needed until it existed.

I want to dwell deeper into these nuances and to seek quietness over the whole creation: cloud, tree, mountain, etc. I will further reveal mankind abyss of despair, loneliness, joyfulness and their repetitive probe into the essence of things. My hope for my art is to alleviate human struggle in the hearts of man. I want to look at what nature showed me, and to paint what my heart feels with the fleeting color and light that I always drawn upon.
