A child loves to draw

I have been painting since I was a child and throughout all stages of my life.

I studied fine arts pedagogy and became an art teacher at a high school. When the internet became more popular, I began learning to draw comics and illustrations until now. I am the author of more than 10 published comics and illustrations.

These experiences have helped me hone my skills and maintain my profession.

My mother passed away a few years ago; after her whole life, she tried to work hard and please everyone. Besides regret, it has greatly affected my thoughts. I have constantly reflected on my past journey, seeking the meaning of existence, questioning what I truly want to do in this life that I have not dared to do because of fear of responsibilities and judgments from those around?

I truly want to have creations with my own free will.
I began seeking that autonomy in Painting.

I like to use conventional lines, spontaneity, and constantly changing layouts.
My favorite theme is to describe the smallness of humanity in the vast space. I want to create worlds that I want to see and invite everyone to step in, imagining those spaces in different ways. When aware of our smallness, we have moments of escaping from everyday constraints.
The greatest purpose in my art is to aim for moments of freedom.

Besides modern materials, my collaborators and I have created several painting materials from soil, stones, and charcoal from the plants of my homeland. Experimenting with diverse painting materials also inspires me. I always push myself to travel more, see more artworks, and learn from others. If you encounter me outside, I am willing to draw a portrait sketch for everyone as a gift.

I can do everything for the greatest purpose of life: To continue painting the things I want to see.
