Catalogue Note
“My work is [...] related to the oriental tradition and its spiritual concept of space. I am more interested in space from the point of view of nature. Even though my paintings may represent an idea about culture, the main focus is always based on nature. [...] I want to reduce the idea and emotion in my work, to express my interest in space from the point of view of nature. Then I want to reduce that— to create pure emptiness. This has been an old value that still exists in oriental philosophy where nature and men are one.”
