I paint my inner utopia, RIOPIA, through a simple visual language that is easy and quick to express. My artistic journey began with the childhood habit of doodling in the blank spaces of books or notebooks. Over time, this evolved and expanded onto large canvases, street walls, and various objects. I rarely begin with a fixed plan. Instead, I freely express emerging thoughts and emotions using simplified visual images such as symbols, icons, and words. Much like a child’s doodles, this approach feels to me one of the most honest ways to convey emotions.

RIO JEE + UTOPIA = RIOPIA

To draw what comes to mind and what my eyes see is, ultimately, to see myself and to reveal where my heart is heading. The symbols, icons, and words that appear in my paintings all represent RIOPIA and freedom. I want to continue painting and living freely, joyfully, and sincerely—like the drawings of a child.

“LOVE LIFE ALWAYS RIOPIA”
