Truth be told, to draw something is like a secret journal to me. In recording thoughts and emotions, objects and colors are encrypted codes. Painting is close to poem, I believe. I pour my thoughts, philosophy, and emotions on my paintings, but they are interpreted differently depending on who appreciates, which is such a charming point. Seungsook Park who has been an art therapist for 20 years argues that paintings that have had healing effects while painting can have a similar effect on the viewers as well. I paint with the hope that my art works have a good influence on me and others.
