What is your favorite type of art to create?

all the arts are your favorite in the right moments. after some mad science experimentation, i have to say Painting is my mainline go-to favorite type of art to create. i have some very enjoyable printing experience. beside the technicalities of physical production, I believe both painting and printing have enough in common regarding presentation to support and enhance choices and variation of theme.

Where do you find inspiration?

nature, surf, pop culture, science, physics, history... The appearance of computer imagery and doppler is made up of the corresponding weather elements. Temperature, rain, snow, wind speed etc (all) are represented by symbols and the trends of behavior are displayed. Substituting the context of weather with the daily elements of our inner thoughts, moods, mindsets and events converts the visual meaning into psychological spectrums we may display and enjoy as Imaginary Weather Reports.

What would you do with $25,000?

Money is helpful. Paint, canvas, food, rent and coffee are on my list. I am grateful to come this far in my personal vision and am thankful for the opportunity to go further. my sincere wish and prayer is to use my time on earth to create art and paint in grateful thanks for my life.
