The Story
“I saw one touch of a paintbrush on canvas exploded the brilliant light in my vivid dream at night. That caused me to start this artful journey by faith. Every creativity overflows from HIM and the unseen reality in me comes out through limitless styles of art. My paintings are portals that open the invisible to the visible and bring heaven to earth.
The abstract artwork gives freedom not only to an artist but also to who sees the artwork. It carries multidimensional space and symbols more than detailed depiction. Abstract dots, lines and colors themselves make something simple yet profound. It’s like a song of music without lyrics. The frequency of melodies and rhythms touch our hearts and minds greatly beyond our limited words and it affects our lives positively or negatively. Whether we aware it or not, abstract paintings, which are unreadable sometimes, still influence our mind and emotions. That is why I am passionate about creating abstract paintings to release the frequency of love, joy and peace to people who are suffered by the low frequency of fear, depression, anxiety and hopelessness.
Art makes life more beautiful and meaningful. I am thankful to see my paintings become a part of people’s life and fill not only their rooms but also their hearts with beauty and peace from HIM. I hope the unique expression of my art will touch the innermost being, so that everyone can experience Heaven from the inside out.“
CREATE THE BEAUTY. SHINE THE LIGHT.
