I define myself as an alchemist who explores correlations in the roots, states and depths of the mind as well as body. The main sources of my inspiration are the borders of memory-experience, and the feeling or sensation of everyday experiences, which are expressed by paintings, drawings, collages and installations. In order to build on my ontological question, I use the sense of freedom at every moment in the real world, and hunt images from the inner turmoil of the human psyche. Currently, my focus is on integrating different media and formats to explore and develop a new genre of painting. Thus, my practices have engaged and evolved as a form of "expanded painting".
