Artist Statement on Have Fun: The world of Pleasure of the near future.

Pleasure wakes up the root causes of freedom in our lives. These things that we do naturally, like singing, whistling, skipping or eating ice cream are hidden in our daily lives. You’ll find eternal freedom in the moment of the ordinary. What kinds of pleasure will we enjoying in the near future? I imagine exciting things that no one has experienced yet, and then I will transform them into paintings. I want to express the world in which the viewer will find something new every time they look at a painting. Wonderful surprises will be discovered at random, and the adventure begins. The joy of living. I want to ease the feelings of apprehension that weighed you down during the coronavirus crisis with extraordinary excitement.
