I creates oil paintings inspired by familiar landscapes. I tries to represent 'the visible but invisible' by deconstructing, merging, and rotating colors and forms, and then reconstructing them while layering thin coats dozens of times.

 

Looking at the landscape unintentionally, there are moments when something in front of you suddenly looks like something unfamiliar. I am surprised and try to take a closer look, but I can no longer see it; it has become something familiar.

 

What exactly is "something"? Is the world I'm currently seeing truly everything and correct? I can't help but think there might be a world with "something" I briefly glimpsed, unnoticed, just because I am not currently perceiving it.

 

When I see it - when I unconsciously grasp the entirety without being aware of seeing - I feel as if my gaze is peering beyond the landscape. "Something" may be floating around our perception.

 

I am trying to capture something wavering and ambiguous before it becomes something, using colors and shapes.
