As I moved through my teenage years, I came to develop a taste for art that puzzled me deeply, I was not able to fully understand what the connection was with the many different pieces that I had admired. Now I realize, it has to do with how emotion and sentiment is expressed and communicated to the audience, and more importantly, to the creator itself. Which is why I believe Art is about providing emotional fulfillment to one as a creator firstly, and secondly to the masses.
The sense of loneliness in Qing Han’s surreal watercolor paintings, the vividness in Leonid Afremov’s impressionistic pieces, the power and fury on J.M.W Turner’s, the deep sorrow in every depicture of the Pieta; all of these different people from very different times, with different styles, and different historical contexts have one thing in common: the way they bring out emotional reactions to their art, whether it be simple awe, or sympathy. It is essentially under this same principle that I draw, sculpt, and paint. It is all done with the purpose to leave my emotions as my print on each of my pieces, which in turn provides me with fulfillment.
Following this same idea, my work is inclined towards impressionism and sometimes abstraction, for these two genres are more expressive and livelier in contrast to realism and naturalism. Whether the subject is landscape, a portrait, figure drawing, or ceramics, I attempt to always achieve rather rough textures, and more exaggerated gestures. Along with all these ideas, I pursue the creation of the art that speaks the most to myself, so that I can then be able to share it with the masses. After all, emotions become their truest when they are shared.
