About the Artist

My research explores what might constitute a 'phenomenological' experience of a feminine awareness in fine art practice. By the collection of experience, perception and memories from my inner self, I understand and expand the meaning of the 'feminine', where 'boundary' and 'difference' becomes another realm of possibilities and reality for me. I intend to evoke themes of danger, desire, and constraint through imagery connected to female sexuality.

Am I falling or flying

2006
Acrylic on canvas,resin.
75cmX75cm

Am I falling or flying
This painting was started from the impression of an overflow of desire, like a nearly bloating balloon at the edge of flooding that mixed with danger and pain, but also in the pleasure of sucking unceasing fantasy milk. I am looking for images between spiritual ecstasy and those of sexual pleasure. I intend to bring the anxiety of a dissatisfied desire, a process which is endlessly retuning the self through contradiction, paradox and parody.

A Waltz of the betrayer

2006
Acrylic on canvas,resin
150cmX160cm

A Waltz of the betrayer
I tend to transform my images to a more metaphorical, anxious, aggressive, and restraint image. The composition and meaning, "masculinity" and "femininity”, inner and outer, subjective and objective, are all interwoven. The whole painting is in the process of wrapping and opening; which is similar to a psychological stage of hesitation for desire, full of curiosity and self murmuring.

Entre nous

2006
Acrylic on canvas,resin
145cmX150cm

Entre nous
In this paining, I come back to the ‘womb’ which is about the relationship and pregnancy. I refer to the anatomy of the womb that includes ovaries and uterine tubes. A long stem of bramble like the umbilical cord linked to maternal body shows the tension between the mother -daughter relationship. The small waves show the vibration of pulling the wire and the wobbling hormone activity. Here the womb plays a beautiful lust in the relationship, but at the same time, the chances of pregnancy become a heavy burden.

Sleepless games

2006
Acrylic on canvas
50cmX60cm

Sleepless games

Dancing with hesitation

2006
Acrylic on canvas,resin
100cmX100cm

Dancing with hesitation
In my painting, I try to identify myself in the boundary between subject and object. It is a critical phenomenon that is non linear, floating, fragmented. The rainbow colors on the wave represent the fantasy of joy- fascination; at the same time, the stripes show the warning of sex. There are gears under the fabric that implies a half machine half human movement of our body, which create a mechanical and organic, controlled and desperately fragile.
