"Cosmic Life of the Universe: of Light and of Water"

Repeatedly struck from childhood by terrible diseases forcing me on the verge of death and returning scarcely to life in every event leaded me, as if there was something wishing, to face and think over all the wonders of life and its genuine meanings.

Desperately fighting again and again for survival felt with a lot of pains I realized the object of my life spiritually and psychologically struggling against was rooted in the sadness of the burdens imposed and chains of negative state of being in the past. Looking for drastic solution for every why and questions fundamentally to be answered to be a human I happened to witness a touch of light coming out of a man.

This light with such a beauty any brain work nor conscious study could not even think about nor imagine to exist,later provided me the basis for playing the piano, wishing everyone to experience their own beauty of life light and paving the way for the future of mankind.

It was not until one of these days that I acknowledged without any pre-intention that my state of being when playing piano was in total comunion with water so that I could say the water vital to all the existences expressed itself in my music. As if water is vividly alive, real to life dialogue between water and me improvisationally give birth to the every sound and resonance of music,and this at glance subtle phenomena is felt promising to bring forth something much greater as to contribute to open up the innovative future in the global context.

Light and water beautifully assimilated and interwoven each other tell us tremendous messages of life in its depth of authenticity.

Thank you very much. (message by the artist)
