Artist Statement

STREAMING EVOLUTION – What makes art distinctly human, distinctly conscious? In an age of AI-generated creations, “Streaming Evolution” is a series of modular, ever-evolving paintings where I emphasize and exaggerate the human creative process: take action, reflect, make adjustments. I draw inspiration from cognitive science, particularly Douglas Hofstadter's "strange loop," a conceptual model of how consciousness might arise from self-referential and recursive structures. Incorporating this idea, I place preliminary work—from sketches to color compositions to textural studies—directly on the canvas. This autodidactic process captures my evolving thoughts in the final composition. My theory is that reflection and modification is beautiful, striving for understanding is beautiful.
