'My inspiration comes from closest surroundings, observation of daily experiences, nature, and occasional sound meditation. I am interested in expressing my own personal connection with the outer world, through painting immersive sensual experiences. In my latest work, I experiment with irregularly shaped canvases, combine them together in a various way so paintings interconnect with each other and tell a visual story on the wall. This practice allows me to break free from the traditional painting format or rules and encourages me to constantly search for my own authentic way of expression. Through this, I discovered an interesting combination between painting and shape. I choose to build my own canvas frames because it gives me the sense of individuality and complete accomplishment of my ideas.'
