I paint the lights of the city at night. Light is not just a material thing, I try to paint something like hope every day.
I feel that when the viewer looks at my paintings, they are facing themselves in the painting while looking at the painting, and they are going back to the past.
I express the city lights in an abstract way using squeegees and painting knives. My paintings look like a city from a distance, but when you get closer to them, they look abstract.
