    Depictions of reality suggest spirituality and faith. I want to resurrect the main expressive forces in the history of painting and imbue them with new meanings and to transcend reality. My whole life’s efforts have been devoted to the defence of the spiritual values of man. In this day and age of secular strife, I want to provide the spiritual experience of faith and a sense of bearing.
