I use hard press paper and/or square format
20x20 canvases as my medium of choice.
I start by covering my canvases and frequently
my papers with a black gesso and this forms the base of my
artwork. Then I start forming layers on the medium by using
old text, glittering papers, aluminium foil, sand, gel and
paint. I mostly use acrylic and hardware store paint together
with hardware tools to cover or uncover the underlying layers.
I give depth, shape and texture to my paintings by tearing,
wrinkling and doing deformation on the materials I use.
I started painting and forming an appreciation
of fine arts when I was a teenager, though it was my literature
major in college and graduate school that guided me to base
them on stronger grounds. After I moved to United States,
I continued my studies on photography and digital media. During
this time I have also participated in various art exhibitions.
