Artist's Statement

     I am not a painter nor a sculptor. I am an artist but I should say I'm a printmaker. My work is related to my everyday life. A subject of my work changes day by day, month-to-month or year-to-year.

     Sometimes it is a very private matter and serious, sometimes it is very simple and easy. What I have been doing with my work lately is to try to figure out how to make one piece of art work from two pieces of paper - diptych print, using layers of colors, shapes, fields and lines to make it work.

     Making one print takes time and process. Process is very important for everything. To keep making prints is like process of my life work.
