"My painting begins with a photographic source taken from various forms of mass media, advertisements, and my self-portrait collaged by Photoshop. After that, I use a projector to trace the outline and paint almost the same by hand. The process indicates my concept but also, even I use the images collected from mass media and painted like a photograph, It has the reality of physical movement and material's texture.
My work is based on my personal issue, but it is connected to greater problems and irony in our society."
