ARTIST STATEMENT
​
My art is much parallel to the philosophy on life. This artwork represent my respond to retaliation of reality and experiences. I wanted to capture the essence of the nature and imagery landscape that reflect the sense of belonging which remind us to the basis of existence. A final unifying element in this artwork is the use of both abstraction and presentation that visualizing the memories from my mind and thought to express the innermost essence. The relationship between the internal memories and sensational experiences from our surrounding plays an integral role to the thought, emotional and knowledge of every human.
​
My work delves into the concept of memory and interpersonal experiences in relation to the displacement and assimilation surrounding share connections and commonality. While my work is influenced by nature and my environs, the focus of the work investigates memory, travel and the passage of time. My work is comprised of layered imagery and surreal elements, creating new environments while serving as reminders of our connections to the past and present.
​
I have always been interested with mix process of traditional and unconventional techniques of printmaking and have worked in the medium of printmaking for the past 9 years. My work is hand printed by combining several printmaking techniques -collographs, monotypes and intaglio, my work develop into layers of color, pattern and imagery.
