Biography

Artist statement:

The colour forms the shapes,
The shape contains the colours.
Either one could not exist without another.
The nature is strong yet gentle;
Contrast yet balance;
Intense yet soft...

Under the control of the Creator.

The forms and colours are expressions of the usual visible things that may be seen, unseen, appear, disappearing and everlasting. Though the raw and strong expressions could be at times instinctively shown, the overall harmonious compositions are like a concluding mark to the final decision made. Feelings and emotions might be passionate, weak, desirous, serene and dominating but all are existed with positive joy of what would be near.

About this new period of works

The colours and forms are still the main subjects. I have incorporated lines and drawings in most of the works in view for a raw, natural and expressive composition. Some of the works may look like a journal with visible marks, alignments and textures. Shapes are more organic and light, colours may be vibrant and soft however the paintings are still balanced in the end.
