Grounding

PrizeHonorable Mention in Painting

The style of most of my works is rooted in abstract expressionism, which is my favorite style.

Color functions as the dominant expressive tool in my paintings, whose themes include the earth, movement and

stillness, elements of urban life, and the human nature. Using specific movement and color composition to express the earth as the mother and cradle of mankind in an abstract form is a type of grounding.
