I am against the term 'self-expression'. To me, creating art is a process of dissolving my first-person point of view into the audience. I distill my observations and emotions, interpret them through visual language, and project them into a broader spectrum of universal feelings and understanding, positioning myself as a bystander in front of my work.
I specialize in studio art primarily using oil paints, while also proficient in other mediums such as colored pencil, charcoal pencil, and pyrography on wood.
