Artist Statement
In everyday life, through my interactions with people, I remember the scenes, atmospheres, colors, and certain gestures. Each one of them is inspiration for my work. When I was a teenager, I suffered severe atopic dermatitis and recovered from skin keloid. Since then, I have been very interested in human faces and created paintings that are a reflection of my own problems and ideals, which are then combined with the model’ s personality and their stories. While I find similarities and differences in gender and races as delightful encounters, in my mind, I create “someone” or a new character from my model. Using existing people as media, I intent to depict grace in each person.
