About me
I am a painter who feels withering if I don't work on artwork.
Since I began painting, figuration has been attractive to me. This genre can connote diverse messages through a figure’s fingers, eyes, and posture. With it, I can speak to the world through depictions of imperfect human propensity. This look makes viewers look at you, me, and us as if contemplating. I am ‘one who paints’, addressing the brilliant as something ruined.
I held the 4th solo exhibition titled 'What's your plan B?' in order to question people 'What do we have any solutions to issues we have produced while enjoying things taken from where these used to be and where these were supposed to be. I wanted to question this through the third figures' gaze.
