Growing up in a seaside city, I spent endless hours on beach. Even though I am far away from the sea now, when I close my eyes, I can still see the intrigue shapes of the ships and boats, and smell the unique fresh air of the sea. Artist Note My friends have described my work as painting from another dimension. What does exactly it mean? To me, Another Dimension is the dimension I am in when I am dreaming or in trance, When I am not confined by this 3D physical space, When I am totally free of trivial things or daily stress or ego or fear, When my brain is supercharged and set on the fontal lobes mode, When my perception is crystal clear, when I can see the image in my head. Painting From Another Dimension means painting the images from my dream, in my head, spontaneously, trusting my intuition and without thinking. Painting From Another Dimension means total freedom in creation: There is no limit as to what to paint. I do not have to limit my subject to one kind of landscape or portrait or still life. There is no limit as to how to paint. I am not following any particular movement, ancient or modern, nor searching for a formula or mechanical procedure to follow. Instead, I am learning from all masters, past, present and future. I am continuously experiment, explore and invent. There is no limit as to what medium to use. Ink? Silk dye? Why not? Coffee? Tea? Soy Sauce? Why not? There is no limit as to what surface to paint on. Glass? Plexiglas? Acetate sheet? Why not? Rice paper? Silk? Why not? Transparency Film? Why not? There is no limit as to what painting tool to use. Palette Knife? Why not? Dinner Knife? Spoon? Fork? Why not? Wood sticks? Twigs? Why not? Painting From Another Dimension means painting as yourself, from your heart and express press your soul. I sell paintings, but I am NOT painting for sale. I do not make commercial art, even though I know that's the market wants. I am not interested in "wall paper paintings", even though I know they sell well. I paint what I like. If you happen to like it, great! If you don't, so what? We simply have different tastes. There are millions of other paintings you may enjoy. Each of my paintings is made with my signature knife marks or brush strokes which no one else has exactly the same on this earth. My painting process is so spontaneous and messy and so different each time that it is impossible to copy my painting exactly. If you have a painting of mine, it would be the ONLY ONE exactly like that in the whole world. I see life as a continuum of learning, exploring, creating and sharing. Inspired by great masters like Rembrandt, Monet, Matisse and many others, who never stopped leaning and experimenting during their painting career, I spend most of my time studying, drawing, experimenting and exploring. I actually paint only when I am in the flow, or in another dimension. Q & A Why do you paint? It is for fun mostly. Plus the other 99 ... read more
