    Description

    Created in 2015 during a residency in England, in front of a lake with a flock of swans in Richmond Park.
    At the time, the painting was accompanied by a lyrical poem.

    It's not about getting a beautiful figure, it's about liking yourself. It is not about fighting persecution, but about finding your true place. If you are born a duck, you cannot be a swan. If you are born me, you can only be me." This is not despair, but a landing place to be found after a long journey. It is not despair, but a destination to be found at the end of a long journey.

    Concept

    I don't let ART end up as ART.
    In the course of my activities as a painter, I have painted in a variety of environments other than on canvas.
    Sometimes on a large wall in the city, sometimes on a shutter in a shopping district. In the midst of all this, one thought became stronger day by day. There are still things my ART can do. ART is something that is there for a while, but sometimes it attracts people, connects them, and eventually they want it to "stay there forever". The dots of ART that I create connect one person, one second, and blend into the city, life, and history. That is the form of ART I am aiming for.
