In Light we dwell

Artist Statement

In this body of work, I continue to drift between worlds — the imagined and the observed, the abstract and the real. Geometry anchors the skies and water, casting shadows of the manmade into landscapes that breathe with mountain, mist, and memory. Influenced by colour field painting, my palette leans into the surreal: colours not found in maps, but in fleeting skies — when clouds stretch thin at dawn, or the sun slips behind hills at dusk.

Perspective is scattered, like traditional Chinese scrolls, where vision meanders and time is unpinned. Multiple viewpoints fold into one another, creating a space both deep and still, layered yet seamless. The hard-edged shapes are softened by the translucency of their own colour planes, dissolving boundaries between presence and absence. These forms speak of reason, of plans and permanence — set gently against the ungraspable softness of nature.

These paintings are rooted in contrast, but born from harmony. What guides me, always, is light — those quiet illuminations that appear in my day without warning and leave me changed. And so, colour becomes emotion, space becomes memory, and landscape becomes a place the mind can wander through.

In the end, these works reflect not only how we shape the world around us, but how it quietly echoes through us in return. I hope they offer viewers a space to pause and to reflect, where landscape is no longer bound to territory, but becomes a way of seeing, sensing, and being.
