Many of us sense that somehting magical occurs just when we drift off to sleep. As the days events come to a close, and our thinking wind down, something seemingly springs forward from within us. While one switch is flipped off, another is flipped on and it feels like we can't hold some deep irrational force in any longer. Ever since I was young, I was fascinated by the beauty of this experience and wanted to recreate it through art. These paintings are the attempt to capture those fleeting moments. I'm aware of the vast expansive quality these feelings and have some to realize I might only hint at them, but in doing so, I hope to spark memories of that strange, mysterious time.
Using oil glazing and gold leaf technique, I intend to create a luminous and reflective light effect in my works. The choice of colors is a vital element for capturing the characteristic aura directly related to my emotional life. Emerging with the placement of forms and gesture, a contraction and expansion of the spatial movement is created. The virtual space on canvas recalls the fragments of my memories. The saturated imagery allows us to revisit the world between dreaming and reality. This journey evokes the co-existence between the afterimages and our myriad emotions. |
