망각(manggak: Oblivion 4)
30" x 40" Acrylic & Oil on Canvas
This work represents the experience of oblivion within human relationships.
The small sketches in the background symbolize the many moments, memories, and conflicts that people must eventually let go of in order to move forward together.
The white and black birds reflect the differences between individuals - contrasting colors, perspectives, and emotional worlds - yet they rest calmly, accepting each other's thoughts and space.
Crow Who Swallowed The Sun
30" in x 40" in
Acrylic & Oil on canvas
In Norse mythology, Odin's ravens, Huginn (Thought) and Muninn (Memory), fly across the world each day. Odin feared Muninn's return most of all - a fear of losing memory itself.
In this series, I imagine Muninn swallowing the sun, carrying its fire within him, so that memory can never fade or be lost.
This vision became the "Crow/Raven Who Swallowed The Sun" series.

Scratching egret sketches in the background expressed fragments of past memories. Whether it is good or painful memories, they are bound to be forgotten and expressed as we live in the present. The overall background is an abstract expression of the swamp and forest of New Orleans
Daybreak
36" in x 36" in
Acrylic & Oil on canvas
This Day Break was inspired by a single thought: that we can choose our won day, and that no day can be ruined unless we allow it to be.
I painted one side in warm colors and the other in cool tones to represent this inner choice. As light slowly brightens my world, I decide what kind of day it will become - warm or cold, hopeful or restrained.
This work reflects the quiet power of choice of awakening, when the day has not yet been defined.
I included Tom Thompson inspired pine trees in this piece.
The Spiritual King II
60" in x 40" in
Acrylic & Oil on canvas
The white moose is a symbol of the Great Spirit and a protected animal in Canada. Its spirit is not granted to everyone; it is believed to be bestowed only upon the fortunate, appearing as a rare and powerful presence of the Great Spirit.
In this piece, I explored reflection as both image and meaning. Reflection suggests that who we truly are is not always the same as how we are seen by others.
The Spiritual King I
36" in x 36" in
Acrylic & Oil on canvas
The spirit conveyed through the white moose is brave, just, and tender at the same time.
The White moose, a symbol of the Great Spirit, is a protected animal in Canada. Its spirit is not granted to everyone; it is believed to be bestowed only upon the fortunate, as a rare and powerful presence of the Great Spirit.
망각(manggak: Oblivion 2)
30" in x 40" in
Acrylic & Oil on canvas
The scratched egret sketches in the background express fragments of the past memories. Whether joyful or painful, these memories are inevitably forgotten and dissolve as we continue living in the present.
Through this work, I express myself as someone who chooses to focus on the present moment - glowing from within and existing fully in the modern world.
Conqueror's Avarice
60" in x 40" in
Acrylic & Oil on canvas
Conqueror's Avarice presents a forceful, almost mythic figure suspended between ascent and collapse. The central creature - part predator, part human impulse.
The work conveys a visceral psychological landscape where ambition, instinct, and excess collide, questioning whether the conqueror truly controls their power or is ultimately devoured by it.
In Manhattan
40" in x 60" in
Acrylic & Oil on canvas
This work engages with the city as a site of accumulation - of images, gestures, and lived moments. The figure, rendered with bubble gum and an almost childlike humor, disrupts the seriousness often associated with urban density and contemporary life. Playfulness here becomes a strategy of resistance, a way to remain human within an overwhelming environment.
The surface is built through layers of abstract marks, grids, and fragmented sketches that echo the visual noise of Manhattan. These elements function like traces of movement and memory, referencing the constant flux of bodies, signs, and information that define metropolitan experience. Small drawings appear and disappear across the composition, inviting slow looking while suggesting the simultaneity of countless narratives unfolding within the city.
Warm Place
36" in x 36" in
Acrylic & Oil on canvas
I was thinking about a mother's arms as the coziest and warmest place. A place of safety, comfort, and unconditional care.
The mama bear becomes a symbol of protection - instinctively guarding her child, offering both strength and tenderness. Through this image, I wanted to express the feeling of being held, protected, and at peace, where fear dissolves and warmth remains.
Cormorant
36" in x 36" in
Acrylic & Oil on canvas
The cormorant is an exceptional hunter, diving deep underwater to catch fish. Above the surface, it spreads its wet wings to dry, calmly observing the word with a sense of quiet satisfaction.
This painting captures the contrast between action and stillness - between the intensity of the hunt and the peaceful moment that follows.
