Everyday thoughts and events
My work begins with the memory of the countless landscapes I have seen passing through the car window in the past. All of these memories accumulate in my memory and together with my current emotions create a new place. By harnessing the energy and vitality of nature, I try to shape this amazing place. The energy and vitality of nature are the beginning of life and allow me to fully feel my existence.
What makes us look back on the existence of the 'I' are new and unfamiliar landscapes without any trace of buildings or people but an infinite horizon. As I contemplate the vast and endless nature stretching out before my eyes, I feel the echo of life in my feet, a pile of stones and dirt, an unfamiliar tree and grass growing beside it.
As in paintings, the ink dots pile up and turn out to be trees, forests, fields, mountains and other creatures. We try to reveal the creatures' feelings through their colors. weeds and dry trees. The field with the lush soil has an orange appearance. The rocky mountain, slightly exposed by the dense conifers, shines with a white light that makes us feel the chill of winter. A lawn smiles at us in a lush green that has seen a lot of sunlight and water while growing. The facial expressions of nature mix with my feelings. And the moment I see her, I create a new world. Even when I'm not in the conscious, physical action, I calmly and serenely draw a part of nature that is constantly changing with a faint aftertaste.
My work begins with the memory of the countless natural scenery passing by outside the car window.. The landscapes I have seen and experienced in the past are accumulated in my memory, and the emotions I have in the present are added to create a new space.. I tried to shape my inner space by borrowing the energy and vitality of nature, which is the beginning of life and allows me to fully feel my existence..
A new and unfamiliar landscape with no traces of any buildings or people on the vast land that touches the sky makes me look back on my existence itself.. Looking at the vast and endless nature in front of your eyes, Piles of stones and dirt underfoot, an unknown tree, And I feel the echo of life that dwells in the weeds that have grown innumerable beside it is entering me..
The food points piled up one by one as if practicing training become a tree., become a forest, become a field, It becomes a mountain and manifests itself as another life form., I tried to reveal the expression of the creature through the color added on it.. Overgrown dirt fields with weeds and dry trees take on an orangey look, The rocky mountain slightly exposed between the thick coniferous trees gives off a white expression that feels the chill of winter., The lawn, which has been soaked with water and has become more vivid in sunlight, often takes on a green expression.. The expression of nature is mixed with my emotions looking at it, creating a new world., In it, even at this moment, when we are not aware of it, we silently observe a part of nature that is constantly changing with a quiet resonance., I draw calmly.
