I create my work using the techniques of Japanese calligraphy. Although based on traditional calligraphy, I am not working to create the classic calligraphy, but rather on an “art of lines” that attempts to capture and transcend its essence. When I create my work, I try to forget everything I have learned from the classics and start with a clear mind, drawing like an innocent child. This embodies the Zen state of mind, where one lets go of distractions and empties the heart.

Some of my works are damaged (stains and tears). When the inevitable lines I have drawn with my own hand are beautifully fused with accidental damage, a resonance emerges. There is a fine line between accidental damage becoming garbage and miraculously fusing into beauty.
