My current body of work explores the idea that my inner sensations and the aura generated by them can be captured and expressed through the visual elements. I often encounter the complex moments that bring me into sensations that cannot be fully articulated with words, yet urges me to explain. They are primal and visceral; the sense of hearing, smell, touch, sometimes disarmingly ecstatic, sometimes chaotic. I attempt to bring out the incorporeal feelings physically by the use of expressive color, the tactile qualities of the painted surface, and mark making without much mediation, then I accentuate the feelings with the human figure through the delicate facial expressions and the subtle bodily gestures trying to reconcile realism with abstraction and premeditation with improvisation.
