THIN & LIGHT ILLUSION

Oil Paintings

40 x 40” / 100 x 100cm

“It's been a long time since I last painted, and suddenly I want to paint something. Day after day, ordinary things are wrapped in objects. These fruits are free and powerful, simple and harmonious, presenting a sense of alienation that contradicts daily life. Like humans, they have vitality. Perhaps this is what we call the spirit of all things. Only in art can we find our true selves. It allows us to relax, feel poetic, re-examine these commonplace things, learn to understand the origin of all things from simple and ordinary things, interpret daily life from an artistic perspective, and awaken our inner perception”.
