ARTIST STATEMENT

“When I was young I indulged in expressing broad theme, and produced many large-scale works with the most unique, expressional ways. But as time progresses, I have gained a better understanding of myself, and find my inside a relaxed, playful child with many wild thoughts. To me, the creation of art is like directing humorous skits with the most common props.”
