"in my paintings, hope and beauty coexist'
You can call it oxymoron."

​The four seasons are the main subjects and materials of art. Especially in painting, landscape is the main subject and immediate topic.
In what form and meaning can the four seasons be drawn in abstract painting?
​As a landscape, I replaced the four seasons with images in my mind and painted them as abstract paintings in my imagination. For that, I used digital painting to sketch and color by drawing. And I transformed the picture by painting over the print with intense oil pastels and detailed color pencils.

Even in the cycle of seasons, a spring-like beginning is always as difficult as life.
▲ Summer in the middle of "The four seasons", 30x40cmx4, digital print, oil pastel, color pencil on paper, 2022​Summer is gorgeous. However, summer is not always welcome, perhaps due to climate change that is getting hotter. Summer is a symphony of vacation and sea, but it cannot be denied that it is always an unstable season for people.
▲ Autumn in the middle of "The four seasons", 30x40cmx4, digital print, oil pastel, color pencil on paper, 2022Autumn is a season where the city is also colored with yellow and brown landscapes, but the emptiness that the splendid summer is over and the hardship of having to face the cold soon appear. Autumn's loneliness makes the collar fasten.

Winter is a season that shines beautifully with snow and ice, but in the city and reality, it is a difficult time to fight the cold in the dark and dream of a warm place.

​I painted the city and the four seasons that exist in reality as abstractions. My four seasons are dark and difficult. But in my paintings, hope and beauty coexist.
