I believe that realism is the key to good drawing. How realistic can you draw? This is due to the fact that since I was a child I have always thought that a picture that looks like a photograph is a good picture, and even now I am practicing to improve my realism in terms of technique. However, I don’t think it is necessarily true that a good picture with high realism is a good picture. If realism were everything, there would be nothing better than photography. I think a good picture is one that stirs the imagination of the viewer. I think people are creatures that want to have their imagination stimulated. Because we know that our life can be changed depending on our imagination. My imagination has been nurtured by my paintings, so I want to become a painter whose paintings can stimulate someone’s creativity. I believe that in order to express imagination clearly, it is important to have a solid basic technique. There is nothing more frustrating than not being able to fully express the image in your head on paper due to a lack of technique. I also believe that not neglecting the basics is the minimum manner and sincerity towards the pictures that make use of me. I draw pictures every day with the aim of creating powerful works of art.
