"Place I Want to Be" is not a single point on a map but rather the navigational chart of my soul. Each painting is an adventure, igniting a journey into the unknown, creating an independent world. Within the interplay of space and time, a realm emerges—both illusory and real. My personal exploration of color and form sometimes bursts forth with vibrant exuberance, like the passion of joy, while at other times, it settles into serene stillness, like the contemplation of a sage.
Nature is my creative universe. Whether abstract or figurative, no matter the medium of expression, every stroke and mark resonates with and extends from the natural world.This is the place I long to be—standing quietly or wandering within the cosmos of creation, feeling a profound connection with nature. Here, I roam or observe in silence, moved by emotions that awaken through painting, expressing gratitude in semi-conscious awareness. In this vast universe, like a tiny particle, I drift peacefully, sensing the harmonious rhythm of life.
This is where I draw deep inspiration. Every piece of art is an opportunity for dialogue with my inner self, each work a unique place, telling its own story and brimming with endless mystery.
Here, my soul can soar, unbound and free, wandering at will.
