STATEMENT
Through art, I have learned you can communicate to all languages and all generations. You do not necessarily need to speak one’s specific language to understand art, though I do like to know how the world views my concepts. For a creative like myself, I always have thoughts about having “foreign” audiences. Like I said, it's for everyone. Okay, maybe not everyone will get it. My work does not necessarily have back stories. It conveys through feeling. That’s the most interesting thing about humans, their mood. I make content when I am extremely overjoyed to when I am feeling my lowest. That is another thing the world shares. Emotion. If I am angry, my fingers run wild while filling the canvas. The closer I get to the result, my heart races. Then, when I am done, all that internal anger has been moved into public display. Then if I am delighted, I surprisingly take my time. No need to rush, a good mood puts in extra delicate details, something anger cannot do. I let my emotions color my pictures.
