“I think painting is a kind of contemplation; it keeps me contemplating about both the positive and negative aspect of things, as well as their complicated relationships. In my view, painting is also an experience, involving both body and mind, which people can never get tired of. In the course of experience, the impossible becomes possible, and the possible becomes impossible."
