Kufu My work aims to communicate not what the eye observes but what is perceived by my mind. Since my mind’s perception is governed by my neural signals, then the landscapes are not an impressionistic rendition of the external world (technology has admirably accomplished that) but an artistic recollection of texture and emotional feelings of the external world.

The intricacies of nature reduced to the basic neural stimuli: images. Such is my work: the constant changes related to the body state (my physical body), and the changes related to the cognitive state (my mental states). The naïve look of my work is simply a manifestation of the emotions as they are expressed in the realm of our feelings. I believe that artists today are all tempted to move from the precipitations of their emotions to the visualization of their feelings. Thus every landscape, though it may appear familiar to the naked eye, in reality there is no such thing in nature.

The body mass of a painting is shifting to the textural intricacies of the artistic rendition. I believe that we have to begin to appreciate the little things in life; those imperceptible emotional moments recalled by the neural sites of our brain’s sensory maps.

I live and work in Toronto. I am a graduate of Ryerson University in Toronto. I have been painting for the past fifteen years.
