Dead Or Alive

My paintings are my mediation about the ambiguous feeling of choosing between living freely and death.

The Distant Garden portrays an atmosphere in which the wisdom of humanity permeates, but at the same time humanity seems unreachable.
We see a perfect body—almost like a sculpture—standing somewhat distant from the garden and contemplating a solution. The distance between the figure and his environment expresses a conflict in making a personal choice.

Familiar Innocence expresses the struggle in the desire for lust, which is innocent at the beginning of life. The capacity to freely lust is precious, but it could also drown us in a threatening river.

Erosion is my thought of the power of love and hate. The half-human-half-beasts represent our unreasonable minds, often blinded by love or hate.
The dragon symbolizes the powerful force in nature controlling our emotions, and the eroding architectures show an environment that is full of violations to personal choices: to love or hate.

All these paintings are unified by the ambiguities we face everyday. Freedom is the capacity to search for humanity, to lust, and to love or hate. At the same time, freedom seems to exist only in hostile environments—the distant garden, a threatening river, and eroding structures—situations that are closer to death than life.
