Ordinary Night...

One good thing about a painting is that nobody knows exactly what artist is thinking or
why they paint, so there should be some mysterious part of painting that one can
never explain. Sometimes, paintings can go differnt direction from what artist innitially
thought, even Pablo Picasso said one time " my painting always
coming out different at the end"

There is an apparent attempt my painting starts with colors, because colors represent my deep emotions. By the time, I build up structure, I go for line drawing, from here character of the painting decided, and artist sometimes hesitate because of the reason to paint.

My recent study of New York is about abstraction from nature, the real message of my painting
will not be completed without abstract quality.
I am really excited about my Manhattan series because it seems closer and closer to what I am
trying to do and possibility of color is unlimited.

What I am trying to with my painting is always remains Mystery but that's exact reason I paint.
Hopefully, My ordinary night turn into extroadinary night.

I have a lot of love for city, especially for Manhgattan, NY..

When I was working as a textile designer about 20 years ago, I used to

walk around Madison Avenue after lunch to disest, I enjoyed a lot of window

shoppings and a cup of coffee from nearby coffee shop, I always thought

there is a sense of positive side in the city, I don't mind if some people

put this as romanticism...I imagined myself I walk around city with a beautiful

girl here and there with hand by hand, but I usally had a lot bigger

dreams about this mentally than some actual physical form...

 

Let's go back to even more..around 1975-90, those high school and college years,

I always enjoyed working on outdoor watercolor painting sketches, I used to meet

my friends and go out making a watercolor painting and walking around beautiful

old town of ancient city, this city is such an old historical city that has rainbow

color all over the place because of the age,

I didn't mind living and working in this city, but there was always something

missing...at least in my mind, part because my brothers taught me like

there is big city in USA and you can achieve your big dream, only if you are able to go 

there...and when I was even younger, I was able to read a lot of novel

such as "Little Women", "Adventure of Tom Sawyer", "Miracle on 34th Street"

etc.....so these kind of positive thought accumulated in my mind overtime..

I have developed a lot of romantic and positive spirit so that I felt like

there is some place( spiritually) that is extremely positive one

 from time to time,

but I cannot explain what it is.....

 

Anyway, in recent years, I am measuring the possibility of making connection

between the one physically what I see and the beautiful spirit that I try to obtain.

and I know this process is very possible with the help of beautiful music, the music

that has a lot of Rhythm.
