Bio:

• SIGGRAPH Asia 2020

  As an artist in a contemporary world, making paintings, installations and mixed media artworks, I look for the similarities between people’s thoughts and actions to know what connects them. I take inspiration directly from my surrounding environment. The subjects include aspects of ordinary life that usually go unnoticed. By putting them in an unexpected context, I change their meaning. I playfully experiment with levels of consciousness and behavior such as inaction, omission and aleatoric processes that function within my abstract works. The compositions or settings present poetic images that balance the work on the edge of recognition and alienation. They combine symbolic ideas and graphic languages. Using programming for linear organization, and also randomness in the process, the artworks function with known and unknown elements.
