Your biography speaks of a life-changing experience after your car accident. How did that moment shift your perspective on art and creativity?

It is actually quite simple to understand. When I had my car accident, I lost all control and mobility in my hands and even in my legs. Even though my brain was still sending commands for actions that people typically find normal — like opening and closing my hand, writing an A, a B, a C, or drawing a circle — all those actions became completely impossible for me.

With the help of a skilled therapist, I began in-depth work to restore the connection between my brain and my limbs in order to regain my motor skills. As I progressed, I became aware of the complexity involved in thinking about something and then translating that thought into action through hand movements. I realized that I was not just drawing or writing; I was fully engaged in the precise moment when a pencil or brush made contact with paper or canvas, as well as the specific movements involved.

This experience was not just about the act of writing; it incorporated a physical experience rooted in sensation. Every single millimeter I drew on paper or canvas became a profound physical experience that transcended what I could see.

Through practicing Shodo, the Japanese art of calligraphy, I learned to draw and write with an expression of breath, known as Chi, where each movement is accompanied by that breath. This made the experience truly special: it was not just about drawing lines; it was about expressing my breath.

You describe yourself as a man beyond all norms. Can you elaborate on how this perspective influenced your approach to quantum painting?

Yes, of course. I love the feeling I have—it’s something I’ve experienced since a young age. I’ve always looked beyond boundaries, which often created challenges with my teachers, as they struggled to keep me within their limits and norms. When I asked “why”, and they responded with “because I said so,” it only fueled my desire to explore further.

This drive to venture outside the box and past those boundaries led me on a remarkable journey of recovery, even when doctors told me that healing from my injuries was impossible.

As I began to develop my quantum paintings, as I have mentioned, I drew through my breath, through the Chi. When I created art, I noticed forms and creations emerging on my canvas that couldn’t be fully explained in words—it was something that had to be felt.

With every single stroke I made and every painting I completed, I focused on the feelings that arose within me. I realized that once a painting was finished, it generated a vibration that transcended what was visible on the canvas. This realization led me to what I call quantum painting.

You mentioned being guided by another dimension in your artistic process. Can you describe what that guidance feels like and how it influences the final work?

When I had my car accident, I also experienced a near-death moment. This experience took me quite some time to articulate.

What I share here is my perception of reality of course. During this transition in my near-death experience, I encountered a presence that told me, “No, you don’t have to go yet; you have to return because you still have so many things to do.”
I describe this encounter as a voice—a voice that conveyed to me that it was not my time to leave.

Since that moment, I have developed a strong feeling that is difficult to describe. Often in life, I can feel and hear that guiding voice in various situations. Particularly when it comes to my paintings, I start with a specific idea or intention for a piece.

As I begin painting, whether using a particular technique or focusing on my original intention, I feel as though I am being guided from, let’s say, above. While I always maintain control of my hand and my actions, it is as if I am receiving subtle suggestions for different areas of my canvas—suggestions about certain colors or specific subjects to create in certain areas of the canvas.

This is why the titles of each of my paintings are deeply connected to the creations themselves. They are not just titles; they carry a vibration that resonates with the essence of each artwork I produce.

Your work is not limited by classical techniques. How do you feel your quantum painting complements or challenges traditional art?

For me, it is extremely important in life to always offer a complementary perspective on aspects that are constrained by our perceptions of reality, techniques, and even laws. I strive to ask questions about why certain boundaries exist and why techniques are limited to specific forms.

This is not an act of resistance; rather, it is about raising awareness and encouraging people to consider, “Why do you limit yourself to this form?”

Everything I do and teach reflects this approach. When I teach quantum painting, I often work with artists who have classical training, and they sometimes come from different countries or cultures. I invite them to showcase their techniques and share what is important to them. In doing so, I can introduce elements that are compatible and complementary to their approach.

This allows them to stretch their boundaries, whether they are classically trained artists or contemporary ones, national or foreign. Even if they wish to stay within their traditional techniques, they can incorporate new elements that will make their art even more unique.

It is essential for me to offer a complementary perspective and provide a vision that goes beyond conventional boundaries often found in academia.

However, I will never judge a technique. Instead, I observe it and consider how I can contribute to it. My goal is to help expand those limitations, making the artistic process more enriching and enjoyable for the artist.

You’ve said your paintings evolve daily for the observer. Can you explain how the interaction between the observer and the painting works on a quantum level?

Yes, of course. First, I want to clarify that when we delve into quantum physics, we find that the results of experiments are influenced by the scientists or observers conducting these tests. This phenomenon is well-documented in science.

Regarding quantum paintings, I notice this every time someone visits my exhibitions or purchases one of my artworks: The more they engage with a painting, the deeper their connection becomes. Initially, when they buy the painting, they perceive it through their own limitations, which includes not just what they see with their eyes but also what they feel.

For instance, if I have an exhibition featuring six paintings, a visitor might start by looking at the first painting, then move on to the second, third, fourth, fifth, and finally the sixth. Once the visitor returns to the first painting, every visitor I have encountered at my exhibitions has told me that the first painting looks completely different upon their return.

I explain to them that by experiencing the other six paintings, they undergo a shift in energy and perception of reality. Just as a scientist’s perspective influences the outcome of their experiments, a visitor’s perception of the first painting also changes. Therefore, when they revisit it, they are not simply seeing the same painting; it has, in essence, transformed into a new, seventh painting.

This means that the insights they gained from the other five paintings enhance their understanding of the first. It evolves into a richer and more profound experience.

This effect is even more remarkable for someone who buys a painting and lives with it daily. Many share their documented experiences on my website, describing how their lives—and the lives of those around them—change over time.

It’s truly beautiful to witness how a buyer initially purchases a painting for what it represents at that moment, but as days go by, the painting grows alongside them. This illustrates that a painting can evolve with its observer, transforming as far as the observer allows.

How does the idea of feeling outside of the box come into play when creating your artwork?

For me, creating these quantum paintings is such a beautiful experience. Why? Because I feel so free while doing it.

When I paint, regardless of the subject, form, or intensity, each moment is filled with pure joy. Every second spent on my artwork brings me pure happiness. It feels as if something deep inside me is building, growing, and enriching every single cell of my being. The more I paint, the more fulfilled I become, and I am very grateful for this experience.

I will continue painting as long as that feeling keeps growing. I know my painting is finished when I feel a sense of fullness, satisfaction, and perfect harmony.
It becomes very clear to me when I reach that final stroke of my brush on the canvas, marking the closure of the piece. In that moment, I feel that it is complete and ready.

Your artwork is available on digital platforms like NFTs. How do you see the future of art in digital spaces, and how does that fit into your vision?

For some time, I have been observing and testing various NFT platforms. While I find some aspects of NFTs interesting, I am not yet fully convinced by them. Therefore, I have decided to put my NFT project on hold for now. This doesn’t mean that I won’t pursue it in the future; just that I’ve paused it for the moment.

In the meantime, I have developed a metaverse platform in collaboration with a team in Hong Kong. We thoroughly explored different platforms within the metaverse and, as a result, I created an active platform that features 3D experiences and allows users to navigate using special headsets. I am also integrating artificial intelligence to enhance the overall experience.

I continue to offer people the opportunity to visit both my physical and digital exhibitions. Through my metaverse platform, visitors can view artwork they may have seen in physical or digital exhibitions, but in the metaverse, they will also encounter additional dimensions and artistic creations that I cannot showcase in the physical world. This is particularly exciting because the metaverse is accessible 24/7. People can visit, travel, explore, and engage with my creations whenever they wish.

For me, the objective of the metaverse aligns perfectly with my work in physical and digital exhibitions today. This integration adds significant value to my artistic endeavors, and I find great enjoyment in this process. I believe that when used appropriately, digital mediums can have a major impact on society. “Used appropriately” means that they should be constructive for art and allow viewers to still feel the artist behind the creations.
