I love the “coexistence” theme of quantum particles, which reveals the paradoxical nature of reality. Quantum particles can exist in multiple states at the same time, defying our common sense of logic and order. I find this fascinating and beautiful, as it reminds me that opposites are not enemies but partners in a dynamic balance. We usually tend to think that two opposites cannot coexist, yet we experience it every day. I believe that black and white, good and bad, destruction and construction are not opposing forces, but rather coexisting in synchrony as seen in Drago Draghi Duality.

Between my mood swings, I find a similar harmony of transition. As my dragon of joy emerges to the surface, my dark dragon is already aroused, grown, and ready to play, or vice versa. Contrary to what most people assume, dragons are not actually fighting; they play games with joy when they find each other. The human brain, which is accustomed to thinking in terms of duality, assumes that dragons are at war and that one cannot exist without the other. But doesn’t purple contain both red and blue?

It is said that light sometimes acts as a particle but other times as a wave. The same element that creates colors can also be the main cause of tension. The paradoxical nature of the soul is the backbone of my painting. The strings in the painting connect various points, creating a constellation-like pattern that binds everything together. Some strings are taut and tense, while others are loose and relaxed, reflecting the ebb and flow of life. I want the audience to question themselves: do the strings get loosened because we want to get rid of the tension or do they accompany our rhyme as we loosen up?
