　　I don’t know what –ist I am in terms of art. I just follow my inner instincts when I paint and try my best to broaden my horizons and express my feelings, attitudes and thoughts from more angles. For me nothing matters more than a free, unrestrained state.I don’t explicitly express real life around me in my paintings. Embodied events and circumstances seem to me to be distant in art. I hope that I can express surreal spiritual connotations with simple, accessible imagery. I hope that my paintings are easily intelligible and the viewer can instantly recognise everything I want to say.
