With my previous academic background (literature and linguistics), my art lies in the semiotic realm of verbal and visual language dynamics. I transform lexical sources from my novel into art. When transferring textual materials into visual forms, I reconstruct the meaning of the lexical item outside the narrative context and from the perspective of the current temporal and spatial zones in which I reside. Our body (un-)consciously manifests its internal states through gestures, movements, and facial expressions, which are my main concerns. By nature, my art style is lined with realism, encompassing photorealism and surrealism, between realistic and imaginary styles.
