The thematic of "mapping the human skin" determines my recent artwork which approaches different ages in relevance with the environmental space. I am interested in the slow building up of the surface through multiple layers and I pay close attention to graduations in tone and texture. The human skin in my artwork contradicts to the "porcelain skin" that we see on the magazine covers. If you paint a scar on the "complexion" of your canvas, it can be beautiful; it becomes a part of its identity.
