[ Artist statement ]
I explores the boundaries between contradictions such as chaos and order, natural and artificial, construction and destruction, dream and reality. I believe these contradictions are balancing each other somehow by the unknown current, which makes the world as it is.

I have been mainly focusing on mixed media painting, but also creates three dimentional works by combining various materials and utilizing both digital and traditional techniques. My art varies from concept driven artworks to more sponteneous paintings, drawing inspirations from various sources such as geometry, art history and Pop culture.
