Artist Statement
Abstract landscape (new expressionism)
As an artist, I channel my emotions, inspirations, and the beauty of the world around me into vivid creations. My work is a symphony of colors and shapes, infused with textures crafted from materials like Hanji Korean mulberry paper. This process allows me to create unique dimensions and forms, transforming my abstract visions into tangible expressions. Each stroke and layer speaks to my inner world—a place of urgency and passion—where art serves as a bridge between my soul and those who experience it.
The act of painting is deeply intertwined with my sense of time and mortality. Every piece is a reflection of my desire to leave something lasting behind, a gift to the earth and its people. As I navigate the fleeting nature of life, my commitment to creativity takes precedence, often overruling rest. Painting enriches my spirit, and I hope that the vibrant beauty I create resonates with others, touching their hearts and souls as profoundly as it touches mine.
When my inspiration wanes, I turn to the natural world and the places that have shaped my journey. Nature revives my artistic vision, and I weave its influence into my work, from abstract explorations to realistic interpretations of memorable subjects and moments. My art is both a personal odyssey and a celebration of the profound connections we share with the world around us.
