The Buddha taught, all phenomena arise from the mind. If life serves as a soul's refinement, then art becomes my expression of self-awareness. Confronted with human desires, anger, foolishness, arrogance, and doubt, and the illusions of the world challenged by internal ignorance, the soul grapples with pain, seeking inner peace amidst spiritual tumult. Lost amidst the lively dynamics of the world, devoid of the guiding light of awareness, the heart becomes ensnared in worldly constraints. Amidst this entrapment, pain and loneliness entwine, alongside disappointment and sorrow. Yet, through this struggle, gradually inching closer to my own essence. Upon realizing the illusion of birth and death, gain and loss, right and wrong, understanding dawns that destiny treats all equally. Returning to the present marks the journey homeward. Therefore, each painting mirrors a present state of mind, a redemption of the self, and a voyage to self-awareness.
