I hold a deep longing to live surrounded by beautiful things. At the core of my art lies "an aesthetic sensibility, and the perception of life and death."
I often paint goldfish because they are creatures bred solely for the sake of beauty, having lost the freedom to live as they would. Their delicate, fleeting presence resonates deeply with my concept. When I paint bees, on the other hand, I imbue them with a playful sense of threat, as if they were whispering, "I'll sting you." Through them, I seek to express the tension and danger that lie beneath beauty.
