Artist Statement
I appreciate any kind of artwork when I feel the author’s sincerity, humanity, sensitivity, sympathy, empathy, intelligibility, thoughts, and commitment to the subject, accomplished by simply or through dichotomy, or even by a more complex way. Being surprised is no less important as the enjoyment of the beauty of the art. I would like to share the same experience with my pictures.
