My belief is that every human has a natural and
yet impossible desire to figure out the mechanisms of the universe
as well as their role as a part of it. With this comes a desire
to communicate or externalize what one has come to understand
about the world through some form of personal expression. Creative
expression is fueled by a need to prove and confirm ones
own existence by translating ones thoughts into physical
form-it is a struggle to come to better understand the world.
Even if we were to just pick up a random stone from
riverbank, our subconscious would subtly evaluate the variables,
such as color, shape, texture, and weight, before settling upon
a single stone. We all have the ability to identify what physical
forms around us correspond with our psyche. This sensibility shift
and renew itself everyday with the passing of time. My inner world
is a place where emotions, memories, and thoughts translate into
shapes, images, and textures. Like the sand in a desert, the physical
forms that come to my mind are constantly in motion, constantly
changing their expression. However, at the same time there is
a certain consistency in the logic that plays behind the construction
of these forms.
My style of production is organic, sporadic and
unpredictable, even to me. People and literature have always been
very important to me, and so I am easily influenced and motivated
by whatever books or people I am being exposed to. I appreciate
them the most for having the ability to change my perspective,
sometimes so drastically that an entire body of work no longer
makes sense, and I must change them. Having an extra star will
change an entire horoscope, such is the sporadic and changing
nature of my artwork.
