In the world in which we live, there are "visible" and "invisible" things. The "visible" includes our own bodies, the images of others, objects, nature, and images, to name a few. What are the "invisible things"? For example, radio waves, wavelengths of light, microscopic germs such as viruses, the distant universe, and so on. Among the many "invisible things," the most primordial, and the one that has taken root in our lives, is probably human consciousness. Each and every one of us lives with our own consciousness. Consciousness is the foundation of our life, and yet we have no way to confirm its existence with our eyes. However, I believe that the only way we can access consciousness is by turning our attention toward the world in which we live. We see the world, we hear the world, we smell the world. It is through our sensory organs' access to the world that we become aware of the presence of consciousness. The artist hopes to find abstraction in the presence of this consciousness. The artist's approach to abstraction is to first touch the world, and then to project the presence of the world that he perceives into his work. In other words, the artist overlaps the image of both the world as reflected in his own sense organs and the way he feels about it. Therefore, rather than concrete colors and shapes, he gives color and texture to forms that have been simplified and lost their names, and arranges these forms on the canvas in a compositional manner, while focusing on the presence drifting from the subject, attempting to create a picture of the connection between the artist's consciousness and the world. This approach can be described as an exploration of new sensory reproducibility through abstract painting.
