CONCEPT IN MY WORKS
My works is about transformation. In the processing the canvases, the first thing I to do; is always busy to find images which I like so much, event that images from internet’s browsing or taken by my own camera. If I felt ‘in’ whit them, usually just take minutes to compose those images in the photo shop’s program to be new image what I like.
Transformation here I mean about chancing the size, colors, positioning and distortion in order to fit with my imagination. There are important sides, with those special size, colors, position, distortion in the composition I made for, I really made easy way to comfort my vision in the picture before tracing to the canvas.
Following this process, my art’s vision are not far from contemporary art, which ‘copy-paste’ is common, computerize became tools to help accuracy and find the ideal images.
With those cases, my work always term with contemporaries human’s social condition which times and places are plastic, including the subject's matter it's selves.
