(statement)
I'm trying to form the nature I imagine in my canvas.
It can be a flower, a plant, a human, or something like an organ.
Motifs are just tools for creating ideal nature, and there is no particular purpose (meaning).
At first glance, the world seems to be overflowing with meaning and changing at an impossible speed. Is that how it should be?
I hope to discover it in slowly flowing paintings.
