마음 의 창
내가 의도적으로 움직일 때에야 비로소 창은 ‘나만의 방식으로 세상을 그리는 틀’로 존재할 수 있게 된다.
결국 창 밖 풍경은 우리 삶을 비추는 거울의 역할을 한다.
내 마음의 창을 통해 현실 너머의타인을 바라본다.
캔바스 가 된 거울은 인간에게 근본적 질문을 하게 하고 스스로를 대면하게 한다.
플랫폼에서 기차를 기다리 듯 무심히 거울 위에 비친 부서질 것 같은 형상 들은 반투명한 색채로 표현되어 어디론가 스쳐 지나 가는 ,영원할 것 같지 않고 사라져 버리는 지친 우리들의 자화상이다.
마치 지우개로 지워져 사라져가는 나 자신의 모습을 그대로 투영 시키자 , 그들 하나하나를 관심있게 바라보고 사랑하게 되고, 그 뒤에 펼쳐질 또 다른 세계, 희망을 본다.
나 자신 을 들여다 보는 거울에서 다른 사람을 바라볼 수 있는 자세로 마치 투명한 창문을 통해 다른 이들을 바라보고 그들의 마음을 어루만지는 심정으로 그림을 그린다.
Covid 로 인해 잃어버린 우리들의 일상을 그리워하는 심경으로 이 순간 거울을 마주하고 나 자신을 되돌아보는 기회로 삼아 거울 속에 그림을 그린다.
Window of mind
Only when I move intentionally can the window exist as a'frame for drawing the world in my own way'.
In the end, the landscape outside the window acts as a mirror to reflect our lives.
I look at others beyond reality through the window of my mind.
The mirror, which has become a canvas, makes humans ask fundamental questions and makes them face themselves.
As if waiting for a train on the platform, the fragile images reflected on the mirror are expressed in translucent colors, passing by somewhere, and are not likely to be eternal, but we are weary self-portraits that disappear.
When I project myself as it is disappearing with an eraser, I look at each of them with interest and love, and I see another world and hope that will unfold behind them.
In a position where I can look at others in a mirror looking at myself, I look at others through a transparent window and paint with a feeling of touching their hearts. In the heart of missing our daily life lost due to Covid, I draw a picture in the mirror as an opportunity to face the mirror and look back at myself.
