About the Artwork

The Chair Where Memories Remained reflects on a place once quietly occupied by someone who offered guidance and encouragement. The chair is now empty, yet the conversations, the silence, and the presence remain, held not by the person, but by the space itself.

"I think my art is a journey to explore human nature."

Two artists have profoundly impacted my art: John Singer Sargent and Egon Schiele. Both are portrait artists, yet their styles are remarkably different, shaping the evolution of my own artistic style.

Sargent's incredible use of color and positioning on the canvas captivated me. His portraits are elegant and sophisticated, capturing light and texture beautifully. However, I began to question whether this external elegance truly captured human nature.

In contrast, Schiele’s portraits are more shocking, with darker colors and bolder lines. His style delves into the human psyche, revealing complexities and loneliness. This led me to incorporate more expressive and unconventional elements into my art.
