- Personal Statement
"Whatever material is used, an artist must have one's own expression. In order to create fulfilling artworks armed with philosophical thinking, an artist need to contemplate further and be more stubborn about one's artworks. Art becomes meaningless once creative thinking does not form the basis of artworks. I appreciate my artworks are loved widely, but it is probably a mirage that my artworks are popular to collectors and sell fast. What's important is my artworks reflect my philosophy and reveals my world".
