Biography
Art has always been more than a medium; it was my home and my very life. Growing up by my father’s side, who lived his life through art, I learned to breathe through colors and shapes. The heightened sensitivity I was born with—once a heavy burden to bear—has now evolved into a profound tool, allowing me to perceive and empathize with the intricate layers of human emotion.
Through my long career as an art educator, I observed how difficult it is for people to express their inner narratives. We all carry "vessels of the heart," often filled with emotions and memories we dare not unpack ourselves.
My work is an invitation to share these hidden stories. I want to convey through my art that the long journey of our memories is not a path you walk alone. I hope my paintings serve as a gift of solace and love, reaching out to touch the parts of your soul that need comfort the most.
Artist Statement
My work begins with the emotions and memories that people quietly carry within them throughout life. As we move along our individual paths, we encounter anxiety, longing, loss, and hope. I believe these emotions accumulate within us, layer by layer, eventually forming an inner landscape that also becomes a source of endurance and meaning. Recurring symbols in my paintings—such as mountains, water, the moon, and flowers—serve as metaphors for emotional states, memory, and the journey of life. Through painting, I hope to express that emotion does not simply pass by; it remains as a trace of living and as layered memory. Within that space, I hope each viewer may discover a light of their own.​​
