Recent mixed media painting, flying bulls.

​Recently I've been trying something new. It is a combination of watercolor paint and flower patterns created using the balloon smashing technique, which I used in my existing style. In one of these experiments, to recreate my dream, I drew the flying bulls I had seen in my dream. These bulls were something I remembered from seeing my painting in a dream, and it gave me a destiny-like conviction that this painting would have to be painted someday. And now I think the time has finally come, so I am creating small-sized watercolor paintings before transferring them to larger canvases. It is currently 70 percent complete, with many details remaining. More than anything, I am grateful and happy to have taken the first step in taking the picture from my dream and turning it into a picture in reality.

​New technologies such as apple Vision Pro, a virtual reality experience glasses that allow you to immediately play back images in space, and NeuraLink, which has a telepathic function that allows you to control all objects around you through electrical stimulation by implanting an electronic chip in the brain. This is being introduced. As a member of the first generation to move from analog to digital in this era, the rapid change feels surprising and burdensome. All of this brings convenience in the name of innovation, but in these times, artists are asking themselves what to do and what to dream about. At least, it seems that it is no longer the artist's job or duty to draw what the world sees. This is a completely different situation from the previous times when photography was first introduced and artists felt fear but were able to overcome it successfully. In some ways, it is more powerful than photography and can threaten every job in the world. In times like these, I want to paint my dream as an artist. Of course, Elon Musk may one day develop a machine that can draw human dreams. But before that, I want to draw out my dreams one by one. Now is the time for artists to draw what the world cannot see.
