Artist Statement

Love is the greatest of all virtues. Life without love is dry and meaningless since it is the most powerful force in our lives. Love brings happiness, Happiness makes life richer. My pursuit of everything starts with something that can be filled with happiness. It does not matter how big it is and what materials you choose for it. All that matters is whether you can feel the happiness in your heart and skin. Man's greed is limitless. I do not pursue wealth and material possessions. There’s more meaning in life than money. Happiness is a state of mind and money does not buy happiness. Money comes and goes, but happiness is priceless. Love exists between siblings, husband and wife, family members and between friends. True love begins when nothing is looked for in return. Money can't buy you true love. To love is to recognize yourself in another. If you truly love someone, tell them. Love will grow into something beautiful and strong. If there is someone out there who will share true love with you, it's a blessing. The ultimate goal of my artwork is to create a world full of love that brings true happiness to people.
