[About the ID Series] Whenever I draw someone, I always want to express them better. I want to convey the essence of the person more deeply, and capture the impressions I observe and feel more accurately. I constantly strive to make the act of painting on canvas, which records the existence of the person and the moments we share, more meaningful. While creating a portrait, I have a strong desire to capture the person's essence, my impression of them, and the events of the moments we meet, without leaving out any of these elements. I feel that if any one of these is missing, it seems less truthful. From the perspective that essence is relative and constantly changing, I believe that if I can harmonize these three elements in precise proportions, I can get closer to the true essence. With this mindset, when completing a work, I endeavor to capture a genuine moment where the depth of the person and my impression are harmoniously integrated on the canvas.
