Unforeseen Inner-self Images
through Ambiguous Nature.

My recent works indicate unexpected images and reverberating ambiguous natural forms on the organic textures of rice papers. These works bring out the torments of my imagination and the surprising, unexpected allure that natural scenery provides, all the evocations and fascinations of the unknown at the boundaries of thought. I am seeking dense and complicated textures that I hope will become part of my repertoire for the transformation of new pictorial scenes. Also, my works create illusions of multiple ambiguous perspectives in one painting which are an illusion of aspects of nature and my emotional state.

The emphasis on experimentation and an arbitrary and intuitive starting point brings out certain reflections through the rice paper’s vague forms. Each painting shows simultaneously different figures and movements through many abstract lines. Various types of lines bind themselves, not on a flat surface, but in space, which the deep and indeterminate limits of the sky can offer the spirit, which imagines all the lines created by the rice papers, projecting certain forms and combining the most diverse elements and imaginable figures.
