My source of creation comes from nature and my ‘theme’ is landscape. I depict realities through my eyes and mind. When I started living in Japan, I wished to stay at an onsen and make artworks without having any pre-conceived ideas or judgements. Finally, my dream came true and I was offered the opportunity to stay at Shima Onsen, which is famous for healing 40,000 diseases, and its surrounding, beautiful nature. Being at Shima Onsen, I feel that diseases could be curable just for the fact of being in touch with nature. I become a part of nature instead of separated. I feel whole, harmonious and jubilant with the sound of the flowing river and fresh air. I feel purified. I express these experiences, which are like Tao, through my art.
