Fanko dreams of communicating with the world through creative activities based on her daily life. Life goes by and many things happen. Through paintings, she wants to remember the ordinary emotions that we miss or almost forget as time passes by. She said, “The character in the painting is myself, the artist, and at the same time symbolize the people around me. Sometimes I feel like I'm talking to them, and sometimes I feel like I'm listening to their story. I am fascinated by the shift of identity as this.” The main character in the painting sometimes is an adult and sometimes a child. This emotion is what she feels about herself, and it is constantly being switched and overturned in her mind. The transition of a moment is the essence of her existence and identity. She is growing as a human being and an artist by depicting the ordinary emotions felt in everyday situations that combine self and others, the complex and the simple, the realistic and the imaginary. The story is told in a comfortable and natural way through the familiar style of the main character in the painting. Recently, she has been expanding her medium to include acrylic paint, oil pastel, pencil, photography, animation, and ceramics.
Tingky is an artist who pays attention to the various 'emotions' felt in everyday episodes. Most of the things she experiences are caused by emotions and desires such as joy, sorrow, love, hate and anger. And emotions constitute the landscape of her mental and social life. She believes that emotions are the energy to preserve her existence, and that bad and passive emotions can be overcome through stronger, more joyful and active emotions. Based on the philosophy of emotion, Tingky created a unique character, 'Kaekumi', with unique and playful humor and wit. Kaekumi dreams of happiness, hope and freedom in a finite and absurd life. It is a symbol of freedom to decide and act on its own feelings and desires. And as an active being in life, it is sometimes even heroic. Tingky reveals a different side of the world that could not be known through Reason, through Kaekumi and the magical powers of emotions. Influenced by the colors and utopian worldview of American and Japanese animations in the 2000s, she delightfully portrays that utopia is something that can be found in practical life.
