 I try to challenge my conventional (my usual habits): my manual skill and my interest in making painting.
 My problem is to create new experience, new images, new interpretation.
 The painting does not comes from a fixed concept. Concept in my painting could be something floating essences which accords to the technique, material that I use.
 I use the folding technique or Inkblot technique, through the technique I create a spontaneous mark. I think spontaneity is important in my painting. It is able me to create a new images and experience. This is a process of self-awareness, to understand my own painting. The painting develop in the free employment of imagination.
 Here is a metaphorical sense of my painting, technique, material that I am handling. Sometimes, when I make painting, I imagine it's just like you open doors and walking and waiting what would happen to you today. It's just like you receiving mail or a parcel from somebody you don't know who there are and what they want from you. It's just like you opened your purse and check how much money do you have left to carry on your life. It's just like turning over a stone to see what is on the other side. What ever you find, good or evil, it was there before you turned the stone. If you see something disturbing and wonder if you should turn over any more stones. Turning over these images is actually a bit scary. And should we keep moving into these new areas?
 The work is made with techniques, material and processes, which use and extend the language of abstraction. Colour and line are trapped in a unprimed surface. Chance events, Which occur with the physical interaction of the paint and the space of the painting, become part of the content of the painting.
