My work is originated from the nostalgia which is full of curiosity and pleasure of my childhood.
My childhood was the most innocent and stable emotionally and the
warmest period during my life. As the life goes unstable, my efforts longing for innocence in the
past has been continued, which inflames the homing instinct.
To me, paintings mean an instinctive response for longing, and a passage as well as a relief which
makes me feel sensibility of my childhood.
Topics in my works are usually warm, sensitive, and universal.
My works tell the familiar stories which everybody seemed to experience as a little child.
Games of children, toys, friends, and the nature are good materials for art.
And these have been simplified into a few signs in my works, which continuously
show innocence, dream, illusion, heart fluttering, happiness, and warmth
When working my won paintings, I always try to get rid of traces of adults just
like children's unintended works.
My working procedures make it sure that I can come closer to the general public
more friendly with freshness and earnest.
Through these repetitive painting works, I'm really happy to give
others resting places, unconditional smile and pleasure, looking back our past times even in
this adulthood.
