“Human beings are endlessly interesting and always fascinate me. Through my invented form I am exploring the possibilities of existence.” This is my concise artist statement. This has been underlying my motivation since I began to draw animal-like creatures on paper in the beginning stage of my artist career. To me, the creatures are essential to realize what I want to do in the field of expression; they would grow in proportion as I explore my interests.
