    Mementos | 2013 - 2014

Each work is painted from daily news. The date and title of the event are inscribed on the top and back of the work. Its tininess is from the size of a smart phone screen as the painter paints them looking at the news on a phone. Due to the handheld size it feels more personal. All of these works are the artist's personal mementos that remind of memories of the days and the events.
