I am moved by striking moods in the clouds, rain and mist as well as the flow of monks’ Saffron Robes.
There is a palpable hush of wonder with no fixed perspective in my works.
My paintings grow out of silence; a dreamlike morphology suggesting tranquility and a sense of spirituality as figures dissolve into landscape.
The fleeting passage of their quiet moments seen on my canvas and rice paper shines the light on the immensity of our universe and the insignificance of human beings.
