ARTIST STATEMENT

My way of painting is that first, I feel free to paint like a child, and then, I choose a favorite color and theme. The rebuilding of these ideas on canvas comes from infinite ideas that only innocent children can have. To have child’s spirit is a special skill, and also the painting technique that only some of the experienced adults can have is the source of my art works.
