Although painting is a silent art,
When I paint, I feel like I am singing a poem.
At first, I fill the white with lines and colors.
After a while, I feel the brush running over colors.
The feeling of the poem rises between the lines.
Please listen to the poems in my art.
Painting is a silent art
It shows the images of my heart.
Poetry is the quintessence of the art I am seeking.
People look for a poem in the art.
My heart is always with the tip of the brush.
