A LAND OF DREAM AND LOVE, by COPLU

My work is a mirror, reflects the feelings, beliefs, thoughts, fears and experiences.
I use symbols to express my thoughts and convey my themes. In my paintings cloud symbolizes dreams; heart, symbolizes Love, boat symbolizes adventure and journey. The figures in my paintings are mainly the human beings and relations between themselves and the environment they are part of. These human figures are mostly on the edge of contrast feelings such as hope and despair, joy and pain, love and hate.

My paintings are full of hope and emotions that the human beings hold within their soul and mind but shed away with the society’s strict rules. “When there is a feeling painted as in the “Love” series, I try to express the different patterns of behaviors and characters of human beings, by observing every aspects and formation of this emotion and human's interaction with it. I believe there is love in all living creatures’ behavior and it is a beautiful feeling when approached and expressed appropriately. I try to provoke viewer's thoughts with contradictions of this feeling because most human acts partake of both.

Whereas in the Dream series, I aim to raise awareness of importance having a dream in life, by painting pure white clouds floating in the clear sky and humans interaction with them. Thus giving them the sense of getting back to their natural senses, because humanity and its civilization is a journey of continues dreams. Dreams are burning vessel of life; they take us to the most desirable, sought after adventures, they make our lives nourishing and bearable; they are our lives' primary essence. This is why they are important themes of my paintings.

I believe that the happiness and beauty of human’s life lie in the journey of dreaming and loving each other. I am a human, living in my own dreamful and loving world, which I love sharing with others.
I combine three creative elements in the simplest but most effective way to define my themes, so that people from any nationality, race or age can understand them. These distinguishing elements on my paintings are vibrant and contrasting colors, humor and universal symbols.
