Artist statement

In my representative work, I aimed to reconcile the dissonance between the mechanical, militaristic mobilization of contemporary instability, symbolized by the battleship, and the stillness of history situated in an indefinite time, a congregational spiritual faith, and the identities of autonomous, buoyant bodies. To whom has seen the invasion on the floor, the bodies are stuck in the mudpit of the pendular cycle of skepticism to forced submission. It faithfully unveils its origin of natural chance and freeplay of the mind; its form appeals to phenomenological humanistic universality, born from primal emotion, manifesting concrete existence of the subject and portraying the represented’s essence with accuracy, harmony, and the characters of work and breath, overcoming propositions, enriched by contrasts, novelty, and synthesizing worldly disseminated perspectives, embodying kunstwollen, the self-justifying union of art and life, the intentional recurrence of alienation and mystification by abstraction, and the dionysian retrieverance of potentiality and possibilities. A painting is an absolute, and by leading it credence, art is the light to reconcile the fallibility of communication, displacement of self, and dialectically looping subjective schisms to a transcendental, objective ground of reality.
