I do live painting and exhibitions that encompass the entire space. I create artworks that I can experience and share with people who are there at that time through the time when the painting grows and changes.

My childhood home was a kindergarten. The first artwork I remember creating was sand heaps in that sandbox. I made it with so much joy and enthusiasm. Even when I realized every friend had left, I had fully immersed myself and was living in that moment. I currently admire that version of myself the most. Perhaps, I am still in that sandbox, now absorbed in painting, eagerly awaiting someone to come and visit me.
