STATEMENT OF ART:As a partner of a major domestic company, he designs, produces drawings, selects materials and holds meetings with clients and manufacturers.

He likes design both publicly and privately, and when he has time, he reads magazines, goes to exhibitions and new products, finds it interesting that he can find unexpected discoveries and come up with new ideas while collecting information.
The relationship between art and design, transmission and reception, order and deviation, simplicity and excess, and many conflicting elements seem to form things.
The design is to find problems and necessary functions even when raised, accept them, and then measure solutions.
Art is an expression with no answer, and because there are no promises, there are endless ways to shape images.
However, the act of digging into these infinite means eventually becomes called a craftsman, and sometimes brings out ideas and knowledge about the means that designers come up with in solving problems.
In other words, design and art may be connected in some cases, and designers who can accept and sublimate infinite means seem to enjoy it.
Personally, I want to be an artist and a designer.
This is because as an artist, I believe that there is a great value in the process of experimenting and verifying the methods I believed in, leading to more detailed and sophisticated discoveries, which always happens in the process of working as a designer.Understanding the good and bad points of both helps to create better ideas, but above all, experiencing various situations by the proposer is overwhelmingly persuasive in communicating to others, sharing feelings such as joy, emotion and hardship.And I think it's the same in relation to things beyond the boundaries of design and art.
Therefore, I would like to be involved in as many situations as possible and experience both good and bad results based on my own judgment in order to make the proposal better.
