What's your background?

I am an NFT artist who has been active on the world stage. So far, I have exhibited in New York, Paris and Toulouse in France, London in the UK, Athens and Crete in Greece, Tokyo in Japan, Fuerteventura in Spain, and Seoul in South Korea.

What does it mean to you to win the Collectors Art Prize?

I am a newcomer who debuted as an artist 5 months ago. Winning the 'Collectors Art Prize' has given me a sense of recognition within the art community. I feel deeply honored and appreciative to have been chosen as a winner.

What do you think is the role of art in the world today?

For me, loving art means loving the beauty of God. True beauty has the power to reveal the Creator who made the world. I don't think the appearance, form, era, or meaning of art is important. I believe the true essence and role of art is whether the artwork 'leads people to God'.

What would it be if you could change one thing about the art world?

I hope that the opinions of a few people evaluating art do not dominate the public. There is a very personal freedom in art that others cannot invade. Everyone can decide for themselves what they find beautiful. I hope that people will make their own choices about what is meaningful to them through their best efforts.

What are your most significant professional achievements?

One of my goals is to have 'as many people as possible see my paintings'. I believe that people are blessed just by looking at my paintings. So, I want to show my paintings to as many people as possible and bless them. That brings me great joy and happiness.

What do you wish to tell viewers about your work that might not come out explicitly? What do you hope to inspire with your artwork?

I am painting a new holy art. My paintings were created solely for the purpose of offering them to God, and God has been pleased and accepted my paintings. God has promised to bless His loved ones through my paintings. The only thing you can gain from my paintings is God's love. I hope that you will receive God's gift.

What advice would you give to the upcoming generation of artists?

Since human lives are so different, I will not give advice. I pray for all artists who instinctively love the beauty of God.

In what direction would you like to see your career go in the next five years?

The process of painting is also my journey to God. It is never easy, but it is miraculously joyful. I have promised to accept only the glory bestowed by God, not from humans. I will entrust my achievements to God for the rest of my life, and I hope that everything unfolds as God desires, whether good or bad.
