Statement:

“I strive to achieve harmony in my art. My goal is for my work to exude intensity, which I accomplish through the use of contrast. Like a mathematical formula, I believe art is primarily the magic of feelings and emotions, which cannot be simplified or reduced. By maximizing brightness and adding contrast, I find that the interplay of black and white can encapsulate a full spectrum of emotions. I deliberately chose monochrome as my visual language to intensify and hyperbolize emotions, allowing me to revisit color, texture, and form with fresh perspective. For me, the contrast of black and white is capable of expressing all feelings and emotions. I prefer large
formats with minimal small details, allowing my paintings to “breathe.” My artistic journey is one of exploring philosophy, the canvas, the material, and the thoughts of artists”.
