From the Performance 'Bread and Puppet' Painting

He also had many international group exhibitions in USA, England, Australia, Spain, Germany, Japan, China and Korea. Artist Statement: "Deep emotions and inspirations come from everywhere. They come up to me sometimes as a strong impression and sometimes as a vague feeling from nature, travels, and everyday life. I never try to unite and press them out by force but wait till they mature and are filtered within me and I let them erupt naturally. Sometimes it takes a long time; sometimes it doesn't. I like the freedom in working; I don't need perfect, well made or planned esquisiteness. I only need simplicity that evokes inspirations and deep emotions. Freedom, inspirations, deep emotions and sometimes extempore expressions render me free, energetic, and excited. I don't want to stick to only one theme but want to work with many motifs, inspirations, deep emotions and new experiences. By doing so, I hope I can convey my thought and life through my work."
