THE TRUTH
OF THE BEAUTY AROUND ME
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.
