| Rhythm Of The Night Oil｜1998 |
Through the continuous process of painting,
I gradually discovered that painting is not merely a technical exercise.
It is more like a form of expression—
a language connected to one’s inner feelings.
Sometimes,
a change of color,
or the rhythm of a line,
can evoke different emotions.
The painting is no longer simply a representation of objects,
but begins to carry a certain feeling.
It was during this stage
that I began to ask myself:
What truly belongs to my own painting?
Painting is not just about depicting what we see,
but about expressing inner emotions
through color, line, and the rhythm within the composition.
Through continuous experimentation and creation,
I slowly realized
that every artist is searching
for his or her own way of expression.
And this search,
in many ways,
is similar to life itself.
Many things in life do not have fixed answers.
Like the creative process,
we often discover our direction
through exploration and experience.
Perhaps art is not about finding a definite answer,
but about gradually moving closer
to our true selves
through the ongoing journey of creating and living.
Looking back,
Rhythm Of The Night
marked the beginning of my exploration into Figurative Expressionism.
It was also an important step
towards discovering my own artistic language.
