• Artist Statement

  The following piece of artwork is inspired by the constellations and the darkness of the sky... the mystery and darkness behind the unknown; yet the piece maintains the elements of creativity and individuality of the eyes-of-the-beholder that looks upon the constellations with imaginations and emotions. I used pen and black paint to make the hard-edged lines of "space," to convey the rigidity; I then used random colorful acrylic paint with loose circles/abstract lines to convey the imagination and cheerful-ness of the beholder's perception.

• Creative Statement

  Creativity means twisting and turning your emotions, your beliefs, and your thoughts into twisted lines and configurations to share to the rest of the world to see; to allow the rest of the world to interpret the curiosity behind your mind and the way you express that on paper.
