               Artist's Statement 

                  My paintings are scenes among many still shots that are scattered in

           my conscious and subconscious realms. Sometimes, these visual journals

           portray simple landscapes or landscape-like images, fish, birds and flowers

           in different seasons. Sometimes, they represent abstract images, including

           the status of my mind in the moments that I encounter in dreams and

           daydreams and while experiencing different levels of emotions. In the process

           of incorporating the written language into the visual language, I often stylize

           or symbolize my subject matters, physical or abstract, on my pictorial surface.
