Sometimes, I am wondering why those lights coming out of buildings so beautiful and mysterious ? what are they doing inside, who are they ? I feel like I grew up rural area and always wondering about those lights like a little boy, of course, I am an romantic person and
sometimes moody enough that just cannot adjust, but people surrounding me does not seem to notice that way. Everybody is busy working and seem to be obsessed by something very ordinary stuff, to me everything is new and kind of hard to understand why we should be this much realistic or down to earth I should say, why don't we understand that we are living in this extraordinary place under the ordinary night ? Can we have a drink together and talk happy all night ?

This painting might be my last Winter sunset, of course, I was very much impressed by what is happening at this moment, sun was half way
coming out of enormous cloud, and all the colors surrounding this area was really mysterious and beautiful . But, my purpose of painting this scene is not exactly catching this moment only, my intention in here is pretty obvious, I want to use this scene as bridge to a contemporary painting that has element of graphic, abstract, and mind of loneliness.
If you observe this painting, there is spectrum of colors from top to bottom, that's something I cannot give up in exchange with contemporary mind, rather I will use that as a more depth in building up a contemporary realism. My part of spirit comes from Edward Hopper from whom I was deeply impressed mentally, but I know my painting has different characters through out.
My painting is deeply influenced by light and shadow generally, but that does not mean that I should be connected with certain old masters'
when I start painting, I never even thinking about those kind, like I said I may have been influenced by partly by those. and Light and Dark
issue is also only part of my painting, I realize that I have complicated or some conflict in my ideas in creating art work, but most of the time, I know I am looking for something powerful and very positive mental stage anyway....

I was walking around Grand Central Station in and out, I found extraordinary architectural designs inside terminal, although it was not exactly connecting to what I am looking for, I was very much impressed about those ceiling and walls and wondering how they were able to come up with those ideas and able to design such tremendous way !
I found one spot really cozy and those interior colors gives me something I was looking for, those colors are brown, yellow, burgundy and black. These warm color combinations are always in my mind but usually difficult to come up with, maybe I am lazy enough that I am not
observing everywhere, but now I feel like I should look for more like these subject matter, come to think of it, I was always mostly outside when I was producing a lot of city scenes, I don't regret creating these cityscapes last couple years and certainly there was ups and downs
in terms of those results and achievement, but now I feel like I should look for a little different angles, I want to look for more interiors and
more inside than outside..
