The spiritual energy of “blessing” is invisible and untouchable.
I visualized such energy of blessing in my works. Rather than flashy and intense colors, I used soft, gentle, and calming colors. During artwork, I thought of smooth and shiny pearls which once were rough rocks. Almost as if the pearls were to be purified, just like how art could be reflected as comforting and almost innocent by the colors you use. This shows how important it is to use pastel colors to insure the coziness and warmth that is meant to be brought by art.
We live and perish. And life without purification is like a boat floating alone in the Atlantic Ocean. I focused on putting all the beautiful colors on canvas to visualize blessed and purifying life.
I experienced the powerful “blessings,” and it is my desire to stay in this state of blessing. When you fill yourself completely with love and gratitude, your life is filled with the most blessings. In order to live with gratitude and love every day, to be truly happy, I paint.
I ask that you look at my works with an open mind. If you feel the positive energy and see beauty in it even for a moment, you clearly understand my intentions. So, open yourself to positive energy today.
