Art for me isn't just about creating an aesthetically pleasing image. It is a means of conveying feelings, thoughts, ideas and ideologies. A means of creating harmony, love and respect. Personally, I believe that art is extremely identical to a martial art ,both in the way it is practiced and in the way it is expressed. It is a rhythm that moves the person to discover himself more deeply ,while creating inner peace. It reveals his/her limits to the person and guides him/her on a path of learning while being mentally dedicated to an ultimate goal. Having been intensely passionate about Asian cultures for several years, I felt it necessary to try capturing these admirable moral values of them in my works with the help of this great tool called art.
