Through my art, artist, and expressionist activities,
I aim to bring healing and awareness to people's daily lives.

Art that resonates, colors that reflect the inner world, encounters between people, and special words that express my feelings.
I would be happy if the expression born from me could contribute to society by warming someone's heart.
