Presented artworks are characterized by the intermediate connection between drawing/painting and video/animation in the creative process of transformation from analog to digital or from digital to analog. The moving images are created from a sequence of drawings/paintings, or moving images become sources for further transformation in traditional painting/graphic medium. Those intermedial passages enable a philosophical transformation of the context and the concept of time.
