Description

He creates art that (1) manifests his quest into the meaning and significance of our existence against this infinite space-time, and (2) expresses his profound empathy for panhuman desperation, love, connections, and hope. He always seeks to create a body of work that exposes multiple perspectives and dimensions, using the approach most suitable for expressing his thoughts.  This could mean anything -- from photorealism, total abstraction, or minimalism, to conceptualism, or any combination of the above.
