Artist Statement
I am an artist who comes from an eastern country. I have been well educated by the traditional eastern system and I have received the benefits of arduous western practice. I believe these two different systems are very precious experiences in my life.
I believe artists should always try to set themeselves a new challenge, and try to take a different approach. In other words, keep a fresh feeling in the artwork. I'm not afraid to explore new ideas or experiment with my work. I believe in my solid ability and in my skills.
