The fundamental concept of my work is about a process to tie all the elements of painting together. The colours, form and materials remain as the main elements of painting in both a historical context and to the present day when information and content are diverse. My desire is to purely use those elements to flourish on a canvas without loosing the tradition of paintings.
When I lay the colours on a canvas using a free movement of gesture, I consider the limitation of canvas. The composition and the strength of contrast using colours to create a movement on the canvas. The movement seen in my work is from everyday life, though my work is not the representation of solid but the trace and fragments of my memory.
