n my recent works I would like to convey the concepts of solitude
and happiness, sorrow and joy, depression and optimism. I want to
show the impression and the idea of life as a gift to enjoy and to
perfect ourselves, but also as a challenge to us to believe, to
struggle, to help and to hope.

Something is askew in modern time and space, and that traditional
symbols and myths have lost much of their original meaning. Any honest
revival of the figurative tradition will arise not as return to images
culled from the nineteenth-century Salons or the tired cliches of
postmodernism, but rather from the soul and imagination of individual
artists inspired by the formal and spiritual potentials of the human
body and the world around us.

I never worried about what style I am painting, whether it's
Expressionism, Abstraction, or Realism. When you have the option of
going from one extreme to the next, then you can consider yourself a
master. I like to fuse the abstract and real connected by one feeling
or imagery into one painting. My persistent goal is to say more with
less. I strive for simplicity, so that I can express my feeling in a
way that seems new to the viewer. I want to convey a thought, or an
attitude about what I am painting, This is a part which cannot be
conveyed through slides, including the delicacy of colors.

Art gives me a reason for existing. I have spent absolutely no time
promoting myself and I suppose I have paid the penalty in terms of
recognition. On the other hand, my work has had a chance to develop in
quieter way without a lot of demands put upon it.
