The theme of my artwork is an encapsulation of a human heart.

       A human heart is varied and changes constantly.  And within ordinary personal feelings, common human feelings such as joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure are often found.  To me, the act of displaying an instantaneous idea, or continued thought on a screen requires intense concentration, at the same time, it is the most comfortable and natural process of expression.

       I place utmost importance on the first instinct.  And I depend on instantaneous and auto-technical expression in order for that to be exhibited honestly.  A simplified human shape that is sometimes used when capturing a chosen theme does not have any significant meaning in itself alone.  It is only an auxiliary means to show the theme; its emotional expression of lines and colors are more important.  All colors and lines possess varieties of subtle emotions.  Lines are the traces of the mind, and colors are the bases of the heart.   Furthermore, I tried to refrain from excess use of the material which can distort and exaggerate a theme.  Although I choose various sizes and materials according to the feelings, I always put importance on the unity of the theme and expression.  My main goal, at this moment, is to capture emotions using the most appropriate elements of the fine art.
