My work comes from my favorite colors, the neighborhood I grew up on, the nighttime hours I was interested in and the rundown factories in my hometown. I like the uncertainty and insecurity in painting and I like to bring them out in my own way. The urge to paint this atmosphere made me a painter.I focused on putting everything I was interested in and feeling on the canvas in a simpler format. Recently, most of my works are about the inner world and the outer world. Each work is a balance between the inner world and the outer world in my imagination. It was like a window in the sky of the wilderness, somewhere between the real and the unreal. I have been trying my best to make my thinking about painting more real, honest and close to my own ideas. I want whatever the viewer feels on my images to be real.
