Natural landscapes have always drawn me in. I spend a long time gazing at the trees, mountains, ocean waters, sea foam, sunset skies, and storm-tossed clouds in paintings. The emotions stirred by the colors and the intricate details created by the play of light make me yearn to step right into the painting and wander through that world.

I have always had a habit of capturing the beauty and grandeur of nature through photography. Yet, no matter how many photos I took, a sense of dissatisfaction lingered; the camera and the phone failed to fully capture the immense beauty and emotion I experienced. Nature and painting have one thing in common: both possess the power to stir a wide range of profound emotions. If I could capture even a fraction of nature’s beauty and emotion on canvas, I would feel a tremendous sense of achievement and satisfaction.
