"As I wander through this fascinating world, woven with the rhythm of color, I wish to explore the heavenly beauty of nature that I treasure within my heart," he writes. "Driven by the light of the sun, I use my emotions, wisdom and skills to make color and lines come together in peaceful poetry. I want to create water, mountains and forests that sing and dance with brilliant color. The blazing sun's power gives me everlasting inspiration, and I hope to express all that is within my heart."
