In An's paintings, lines are not just boundaries but living entities that create a sense of motion and energy. His abstract forms seem to evolve before the viewer's eyes, while his realistic scenes are imbued with an otherworldly quality. This dynamic interplay of lines and colors makes his work both captivating and thought-provoking.
An primarily works with acrylics and oils, mediums that allow him to explore a wide range of textures and colors. His vibrant palette and varied textures create a sense of balance and harmony, reflecting his dual influences.
