When the feelings grab me and the whirlwind of emotions strike me, I gotta draw and I love what I draw.

" I was not born for one corner; the whole world is my native land." by Lucius Annaeus Seneca was what I read when little and imprinted in my memory till now. I was used to be a visual effect artist for 10 years, but I have loved art since little. The passion to paint never fades out and the desire is getting stronger than ever during the Covid. Therefore, I decided to take the road not taken. As an emerging and self-taught artist, I’d like to explore more of my creative approaches and expand my source of inspiration through travel and artist residencies programs. I believe this cultural exchange experience with others and the local community will greatly enrich my art journey and further develop my future independent project.

Oftentimes, I'm drawn and moved based on the change of environment. Mental and physical states could be rejuvenated quickly and infuse me. I used charcoal, colour pencil, and oil pastels to draw and paint. I am influenced and inspired by Impressionist artists who offered a different way of seeing and developed new techniques back then. Themes I'm intrigued by could range from mundane day to day life, people I meet, nature I am touched or emotions like depression or anger. Encounters with another culture and meeting various artists are what I’m craving for, and always trigger me to create more with fresh perspectives and stories. It's vital as my source of inspiration to begin my ongoing project.

I intend to create a virtual museum encompassing all my artworks. It invites audiences from all over the world without geographical barriers and time-zone differences to join. It allows viewers to immerse themself and enjoy artworks in a non-conventional space. I would like viewers to resonate with my paintings inspired by countries I stayed and allow them to experience an inner adventure in this virtual museum. It's the artistic vision I'd like to realize eventually and till then I need to propel myself through artistic residency to collide and create more works.
