																			Through 
																			the 
																			experiment 
																			of 
																			painting 
																			these 
																			spaces, 
																			there 
																			was 
																			always 
																			a 
																			kind 
																			of 
																			personal 
																			abnormal intuition. 
																			In 
																			fact, 
																			painting 
																			for 
																			me 
																			is 
																			the 
																			only 
																			way 
																			to 
																			approach 
																			the 
																			insight. 
																			These 
																			spaces 
																			do 
																			not 
																			belong 
																			to 
																			the 
																			real 
																			world; 
																			they 
																			are 
																			actually 
																			suspended 
																			between 
																			reality 
																			and 
																			imagination. 
																			I 
																			seriously 
																			believe 
																			that 
																			there 
																			is a 
																			melancholic 
																			relation 
																			between 
																			different 
																			architectural 
																			elements 
																			of a 
																			construction 
																			and 
																			the 
																			observer’s 
																			nature 
																			which 
																			can 
																			make 
																			many 
																			questions. 
																			The 
																			most 
																			notable 
																			one 
																			is 
																			about 
																			the 
																			existential 
																			essence 
																			of 
																			the 
																			audience 
																			him 
																			\herself. 
																			Imagine 
																			a 
																			man 
																			who 
																			is 
																			standing 
																			in 
																			front 
																			of 
																			an 
																			artwork 
																			to 
																			find 
																			his 
																			own 
																			personal 
																			questions. 
																			This 
																			is 
																			exactly 
																			what 
																			I’ve 
																			done 
																			for 
																			recreating 
																			a 
																			realm 
																			to 
																			make 
																			others 
																			stand 
																			in 
																			front 
																			of. 
																			
																			
																			
																			” 
																			Art 
																			is 
																			recording 
																			the 
																			world 
																			before 
																			it 
																			starts 
																			being 
																			forgotten” 
																			Alfred 
																			Stieglitz 
																			said. 
																			So I 
																			do 
																			the 
																			same.
