Follow Your Flow.
Like Flowing river, I change every day.
On the empty canvas, I start by writing and drawing any thoughts comes across myself. Unconsciousness writing and drawing helps me to be centered and to find core: theme of the painting. As canvas fills up, I slowly form a spiritual connection with myself. And I write letters to my painting wishing what identity I wish to give or to hide and let go inside a painting.
Just like being the center of myself, my painting and I start to bond and be ready to paint together. I take a deep breath and cue the action. I scoop gel medium and drop it on the canvas, squeeze out paints on top of gel medium. By using my hands and tool, by following my flow and movement, I give birth to my canvas. Each painting becomes a creature of my memory and feeling.
I search for both a pure representation of myself from within and without, giving me the opportunity to explore and express new environments beyond the limits of daily life.
