The way I perform abstraction on my city paintings intrigues me as it leads to a realistic image. In other words, abstract art brings me to the concrete. I enjoy playing with various ideas and challenging my audience, although I understand that my perspective may not be the only one.
Each side of my paintings reveals a new event, while I aim to create a universal story that resonates with viewers’ current state of mind.
Flying forms, objects in motion, and colors that pop out of each other are all symbols I use to show transience. It is a moment captured in a painting. A painting is static as an object, but everything in it is in motion, just moving on.
Linear, one-point, or two-point perspectives? It’s not “a must” to have only one of them on my city paintings. Perspectives are different, just like in real life. We see things from many angles. We are different, and each of us has different perspectives.
In a sense, when you look at my paintings, you are looking at your inner self. As you step into the city, move around, and visualize, remember that our world is like a mirror, reflecting what’s within us.
