My attempt is to depict the spaces, which are filled with the surprise discoveries of seemingly neglectable but attractive objects and natural events in my daily life as precious ones. They are strange shapes of clouds, lights reflected on leaves, moving shadows of branches, flowers blooming in unexpected locations, and colors of the sky and cool air and refreshing air I feel during my daily walks. I would like to share how I experience day-to-day events and small things that may look insignificant at first glance.
Influenced by Matisse, Monet, and American abstract expressionists such as Helen Frankenthaler, I developed an abstract style defined by the application of thick and thin acrylic layers, sometimes spontaneously, on linen or cotton canvases. I use various brush manipulation such as pouring, staining, soaking as well as dry methods as if I were playing around colors. Occasionally gesso, adsorbent, and pastel are added accordingly.
Inspired by the shape of clouds, for example, I painted Mermaid’s Song to depict the way the thoughts or affections of the mermaid transcended from the sea to the sky. Depth and movement are created by multiple layers of acrylics and emotions are described by strokes.
My aim is to continue to explore various aesthetic ways of expressing and conveying my themes.
