Statement

“Art is the beauty of life”. It is mean to express my love and compassion for life and nature.

The Power of Nature

I enjoy and feel in love with nature and hopefully through my paintings can encourage others to respect our mother earth. This painting “The power of nature” was created when I was in Mongolia in the year 2014. At that moment, I felt an inner power to express this painting. Brush stroke on the painting represented the power that absorbed from nature into my work. We as living beings are nature and therefore the power of nature is also the power of us. The power to change. The power to redefine ourselves and conceive nature and humans as one.

Connection

I paint, I think, I study….

My inspiration is from nature and universe, and the result after transformation is abstract expressionism painting. Human needs to be connected to the nature as it is vital element in our life. Nature is powered by far away sun and everything in our life is connected. I let the colors flow seamlessly in painting to make the connection naturally with changing time.
