Artist Statement

I greatly appreciate the many opportunities that BAC generously offers each year, allowing individuals like myself to participate in various art events despite not being professionals. My passion is to share the love and joy of art with the community, and BVAF is a perfect platform for that connection. My journey with acrylic painting began in 2018 while volunteering for a school mural project. Since then, I have enjoyed exploring diverse techniques and styles, striving to achieve a balance of subtlety and personal expression in my work. My paintings draw inspiration from everyday life, and the creative process—observing, perceiving, and expressing—serves as a form of meditation, bringing me both inner peace and fulfillment.
