STATEMENT

I make a preference to embroidery style as an expressive idiom of my work, while they are materially different from traditional needle works.
The conventional embroidery works are typically characterized by their fine touch with carefully and well aligned stitching methods.
On the other hand, I intend to express my works as a bold harmony with a threads and variety of material, with pigment works on oil paintings.
I entirely focus on presence of human beings or creatures.
My aim is to strip life to the skin from within, playing with threads and material.
I would also like to create works of art that capture people’s hearts by my own unique method of expression that combines embroidery and painting that do not belong to any genre.
