The theme of this work is “Loneliness.” I want to express loneliness and the emotions that surround it: loneliness, heartache, helplessness, warmth, kindness, and compassion. It may seem simple, but the heart is complex. Before we know it, we find ourselves embracing loneliness. I feel that at its core lies “love.” While the word “loneliness” may evoke a sense of sadness, I believe you will enjoy this work even more if you also sense its aspect of love. I pour all the hope I can into my paintings. I pour in as much hope as I can right now. I hope it reaches your heart.
