Artist Statement

I like works that are meticulous and accurately portrayed, but I also like rough and abstract works. This seems to have been learned naturally while majoring in fine art and design. My concentration and obsession with work are so strong that sometimes I feel like taking a break and wanting to go to another different style of painting to stop that energy. So I like, to try and enjoy different styles of painting.


I like to organize things, simplify them, and pattern them.


Take out memories or precious objects and place them on the canvas one by one.


My work seems realistic, but if you look closely, it looks like a scene from an unrealistic dream. Unlike the flat pattern part, the side part is very realistic and three-dimensional. In addition, various objects appearing in the work have their symbolism.


Apples, Teapots, and Cups: objects that help us move between dreams and reality.

Brush: I'm still doing something, a hint of an action.

Flowers, Trees, Fruits: fruition ( respect, happiness, joy, hate, fear…)

Fish: An object of obsession that seems to move somewhere and suddenly hides

Owls, Birds, and Animals: An object of trust that will always be by your side.

Paper Airplane: A messenger who travels between dreams and reality.

Pond, Water: It is a link that connects us with other objects, but it is also a necessary nutrient. 

Mountain: The same strength and energy as parents and family.

Woman, Rare Rabbit Doll: Me or You


I also like impressionist works and collages with various materials. Even if you don't draw a clear shape accurately, you can use the palette knife tool to improvise the feeling of the situation as it is. The effect of chance that looks like a flower is beautiful and mysterious. Free expression regardless of form or material and boldly trying new things will also be another aspect of me.
