My paintings are ruled by my three predominated passions in life. These fervors make my life and my work of art an enthralling adventure. I desired joyfulness and its relationship to love and fascinated by tenacious life-force of mankind and nature. Love brings ecstasy and I would forgo anything for the few moments of this joy. The unremitting obstinacy of man to develop possibilities in life inspired my creativity to pursue excellence, and always the echoes of nature reverberating in my heart brought me to peace and contentment.

I consider these subject matters by way of my paintings; I use oil and Chinese calligraphy ink to create the occurrences of my life passions. Often with my customary poetry writing which lauds the varying landscapes found in nature, my paintings develop and evolve simultaneously in rhythmic movement. I use minimal imagery and nominal color choices to compose these moods and instigate the composition of my very own abstract work of art – echoing Barnette Newman’s well-known statement about abstract expressionism, “We are making it out of ourselves.”

In the future, I want to dwell deeper into these subjects, particularly as it relates to the union of love in which I’m longing and seeking. With equal drive, I will further reveal mankind abyss of despair and victory. My hope for my art is to alleviate human struggle and pain 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.
