Usually, the source materials are trimmed, intercepted, and repeated before they are put on the canvas. By selectively reconstructing pictorial elements, stripping away their true objective attributes, they lead to a sort of "distortion" in which they are gray, airy, claustrophobic, and shimmering with the halo of memory.                                                                                                                                                                                                        In the drawing process, the colors used are relatively few and neutral, and then the limited colors and narrow-span color scales form a low-limit and weakly contrasting painting space, and the appropriate intensity of the colors in the picture can be found from it, but Colors never take the lead, they are there to serve the content. These trivial, anonymous, silent images are presented on canvas with the traces of paint and pen colluding. The traces of the paint and the paint brush are either as sharp as a blade or as rough as a rock, in order to keep the picture separate from the source material image depicted during the painting process, and to lay out the characteristics of the painting to constitute the hidden field behind the painting. This hidden realm is composed of the speech, gestures and practices of the background of the painting material, and behind the painting strives to create and maintain an autonomous social space and spiritual practice."
