STATEMENT

Creating Art with paint is both a mental and physical process. I begin with images and ideas inspired by my experience, which can then be melded with various reference topics such as pop, human emotion, and the darkness that inevitably pulled from ordinary life.

I have always been absorbed with narrative figuration composition and reaching a balance between representation and abstraction.

My natural inclination is first to decipher what fragment image of the figurative and representation I want to use to build a narrative composition. Then to create the sensation, immediacy and emotion of the scene by employing thick textures of oils and other textures in crudely applied paint strokes. Then I build a tension between narrative figurative by applying thick lines and resin to deconstruct the composition and narrative by creating movement and chaos to the surface of the painting. Doing this, as if it was an old photograph that has white crevices or cracks and been stain by liquids accidentally dropped or spilled on it.

It’s my intention to express both the frustrations and unpredictability of daily life. It’s a transformation of daily life – from darkness into the lightness.
