I’ve always been scared of darkness. Nevertheless, I love gazing through my window at night. The darkness is both daunting and thrilling, as it hides what I see everyday, and transforms it into an ineffable world of silhouette. This mystical shroud conceals the world's intricacies, blurring the line between dreams and wakefulness. It acts as a gateway to an alternate reality, where fantasy and mythology converge on Earth, unveiling the universe's hidden secrets and true history.
I’ve always been intrigued by questions like ‘Where did I come from?’ ‘Where am I headed?’ Is the world really how we see it, or are we confined like Plato's cave dwellers? These inquiries guide me as I embark on a spiritual quest, seeking a connection to the cosmos.The world, veiled by darkness, snow, and fog, shrouds the Earth, forming a celestial canvas that beckons my mind to transcend time and space. In this boundless reality, I feel linked to the cosmos on a profound level. It's as if nature whispers that a hint of obscurity is necessary to see better.
I see my paintings as an array of countless dreams that connect me to the subconscious, dreams forged from my memories, emotions, past traumas, and a ceaseless fascination of the cosmos. For each painting, I would intricately lay down sketches as seeds, followed by layers of paint and wash to either mask or unveil them. It's within the interplay of masking and unveiling that the intangible eventually surfaces between the tangible and the formless. As the intangible emerges through this process, my myriad experiences coalesce into a singular, amalgamated dream. It’s a dream that weaves its own myth and origin, and it’s also my best wishes to the world.
