Artwork Insight

This work was created using my original painting technique, Cosmic Rhythm, which interprets the wood grain as the rhythm of the cosmos and paints along its natural flow. I regard the wood grain as traces carved by natural forces—time, weather, gravity, seasons, and rotation—an imprint of the cosmic rhythm itself. By following this flow with my brush, I express the worldview of Oneness: that all is one.

The wood used in this work was reclaimed from discarded materials found in ordinary Dutch households. The shapes, marks, and traces of aging tell the silent stories of human life once connected to them. By collecting, cleansing, and reviving what was once thrown away, the work embodies themes of circulation, transformation, and reflection on our relationship with the environment.

By incorporating luminescent and interference pigments, the painting reveals diverse expressions as the light changes. In darkness, it emits a gentle glow—its radiance resembling distant stars, or the flicker of subatomic particles and energy itself. At the center lies genuine 24K gold leaf, quietly radiating an eternal golden brilliance.

I consider this work to be a collaborative existence in which the rhythm of the cosmos and the stories of humankind resonate together as one.
