Encountering Art Therapy and Exploring My Inner Self 

Discovering art therapy while teaching disabled children, I was amazed by its power. Their pure emotions expressed through art deeply moved me, unravelling my own complex feelings.

Gratitude, Happiness, and Artistic Growth 

With time, my accumulated emotions found expression on canvas with vibrant colors and varied techniques. Creating artworks from evolving emotions brought great joy, finding pleasure in approaching each work anew each day.

Creating Non-Representational Art for Connection 

Non-representational art, though personal, evokes diverse emotions in viewers. Its charm lies in eliciting a spectrum of emotions from joy to sadness within a single painting.

The Thrill of Creating Amidst the Unknown 

In the process of painting, experiencing colors, strokes, and composition is a unique artistic endeavor. Unpredictable moments yield new, thrilling results.

Art as a Source of Empathy and Comfort 

I aim for my art to offer solace and empathy. It has the power to move and inspire, serving as a valuable medium for connection. I aspire to touch hearts and continue communicating through art.
