Consequence of 8 years of study in myAbstract Painting :
1. I perceive a relationship between in the formation of flocks of birds flying and the spirals they create

Epilogue : Watercolor Painting
when I was 15
Since I was young, I have found it is easy to compose something on the canvas. When people ask me why I draw, it's difficult to explain, but I feel as though I have something within me, a destiny-like mission to execute and fulfill. Since I was 15 as you see in the theme of this painting(right), I have been interested in the inner reflection of nature and the inner side of myself, believing that nature responds with justice and peace carried by the wind. I feel nature when I close my eyes. Like Mondrian, I recognize the absoluteness and fundamental existence of nature. However, unlike Mondrian, I seek to understand nature not only in rules order but also as an existence beyond nature. I think that through this, I may be trying to prove nature, and this might be my destiny. It seems as if I am studying nature for this mission.
