My Art Journey

Since my early days in elementary school, I've been driven by an insatiable curiosity and a head full of fundamental questions. My quest for answers led me in various directions, ultimately drawing me into the world of visual arts. By the age of 8, I first delved into history through the books in my grandpa’s small library and later continued my exploration across diverse fields, including natural sciences, philosophy, psychology, cultural study, and even spiritual practices. To this day, I remain on a quest for answers, which is why I chose the artist's path—a lifestyle and career dedicated to grappling with life's profound challenges and expressing my emotional discoveries through the language of visual art.
Whether I gaze at the boundless sky, ponder the infinite universe, study the foundation of the cosmos, or confront the mysteries of human existence and complexities, nature's wonders, birth, and mortality, I am continually struck by a profound sense of wonder and a lingering question mark. I've found that artistic life provides a perfect platform to engage with these inquiries, allowing my fluid mind to explore every facet of life and seek truth within the realms of human experience and the universe itself.

Throughout my professional art journey, I've amassed a wealth of experiences and insights that have kept my mind and art dynamic and open to new discoveries. Being an artist, to me, means embracing the full potential of the mind and heart and enjoying complete freedom to engage with all aspects of the natural and human world. It's about understanding ourselves and living in moments of wonder.

In this web portfolio, you'll find various art collections spanning different time periods, each reflecting my evolving discoveries and my hunger to experiment with new media and artistic styles. Initially, my early artworks featured limited color palettes, but after 2012, a diverse range of colors emerged in my recent collections.

During my Ph.D. studies and my time teaching at universities, I had the opportunity to delve deep into art history, study the works of great artists and designers, and expand my knowledge base. Participating in and organizing exhibitions, training sessions, and workshops have enhanced my presentation skills, allowed me to connect with incredible individuals from around the world, and empowered me to tackle challenges and solve problems in my field.
