Artist's note

"Pro Rege" means "for the king" in Latin. God, who has the sovereignty of all things, also has the sovereignty of art. In purpose-
oriented art, isn't the motivation for creation 'love'? Dürer said, "The artist's ability is a talent, so it is difficult to learn and learn, and it
is not easy to obtain.“ The "power of creation" talent was mentioned as the power of creation, but it was never identified with works
made by the creative power of God's creation and painter. This is because nothing human can be better than God's creation. I assume
that the man created by God is "artificial" and look at everyone, including humans, as "nature" in a great sense. And I want to say the
meaning of nature and humans philosophically. How? What? Beyond the dichotomous concept, it has a mental balance and fuses
my mind and soul with the great elements of nature to gauge the perception and aesthetic elements of a huge meaning. Weeds are
grasses that have not yet been found to have advantages, and they are in their place without getting tangled up in vines. It's different
from humans. Then, who am I? I humbly think of the talent to be placed in a position that should exist as a formative language.

Starting with its first exhibition in 1978, it's been 45 years.... I started drawing at the age of 5 and studied with an entertainment
scholarship. After the blessing of parents, there are teachers who blessed and added pride as painters, but there is one special person.
