ARTIST'S STATEMENT

One autumn, I got a lodge in the middle of the mountain. Turning over to the changed bed, I come out, and in the forest where nothing can be seen, sounds of loud water are winding all over the place. Imagining a large water stream rising up and down the wooden pillars in a place surrounded by the darkness I have an illusion that my clothes would get wet at any moment. The next day I woke up and come outside, and there was a small creek far away from the lodge. Instead of the loud bangs I heard last night, there is a small stream of water flowing with almost no sound. Where was I standing last night. On the canvas, the image I wanted to deliver may resemble the place of that day. It is a space that is not seen but can be sure that it exists. The image may be the shape of a flash which was passed in an instant when I blinked my eyes or the appearance of a heavy chunk which hides its energy behind a thin clothes laid one over another. Flowing lines of paints erase and cover the foregoing lines, and leave traces. And as the traces gather, unseen and hidden landscape appears.
