The city is the space where we live, and from the appearance of the city we can see the culture and technology inherent in it. The city lights in the evening are an archetypal image of the modern city that works 24 hours a day. I found something in common with cyberspace in the system and rules inherent in the city and the fluid movements of population and transportation.

The repeated patterns and neon colours in my work are reminiscent of screen images, giving viewers a sense of virtual space. The digital aesthetic of my work references our deep familiarity with digital media. I simultaneously explore the human relationship to digital technology and pictorial aesthetics by expressing cyberspace through the traditional medium of painting. Space is explored through line and composition and notions of balance and systemic order; common points between cyberspace and urban space are expressed through a painterly language.

Through these works I invite viewers to think about the relationships and differences between virtual space and real space, talk about the environment and explore how technology affects our actions and thoughts.
