I draw and paint with ink, oil and acrylics on
canvas and paper. My work begins with a
personal admission that vulnerability is a part of
life. I am fascinated by those overwhelming
moments such as agitation, thrill and confusion.
That often affects one’s perception and makes a
stale scene turn into a dramatic incident

My latest work is a series of black ink on canvas. I capture interesting elements from
various figures I observe in everyday life and form them into continuous lines or
isolated silhouettes. I carefully observe the relationship in between the coexist
elements and develop the neutral connection or intensive disconnection. The objects in
