Painting has come to me like a destiny. I didn't make a conscious
choice. It has become an integral part of life, it's my breath. I devote myself
to searching for beauty like a man dedicated to his day job - it's spontaneous.
I have sought in dreams, in lofty ideals in the life around me, chasing after
beautiful concepts in communual artistic activities like an unaffected feeling
in an ecstatic bliss. Finally, it is an acceptance of daily life, a truth
discovered in the struggles between happiness and suffering: An obvious truth
about esthetic sentiments within, without and everywhere, every place of daily
objects. Each encounter is attractive, each coincidence leads to optimistic
astonishments.
I love every life, especially the kind of life rich with encounters.
A life filled with unexpected meetings will become more fulfilled; they will
be cultivated into precious living experiences. I listen to simple dialogues
between earth and straws; I can feel the silent, secret voices of countless
materials in nature. Thus, my paintings are like intuitive contacts with things
in my subconcious which spontaneously nurture sentiments such as love. Painting
is my way to perceive reality through love.
Let go of everything, embrace love only and engage in dialogue;
you will realize immediately that your heart is full.
