Biography
My studio practice is very much influenced by my childhood memory. I can still remember the joy of drawing odd creatures from my own imagination when I was a kid. As an adult, this childhood innocence lost in nowhere but when I pick up the pencil and draw, the joy came back to me. In this couple of years I have been trying to adapt or regain the language of childhood innocence in my artwork and I have a feeling that it is working.
Upon first glance of my work, it seems to mirror the bizarre fantasy of Surrealism with subconscious subjects and collective experience. I transcend the initial Surrealists’ strategies by consciously selecting subject matter with cultural and ethical connotation. I am particularly interested in drawing animals in large scale by pencil because it is modest and honest tool that I have been using since I was young.
To me the world is full of love, awe and wonder, this is what I put in my art and I believe if I always follow my heart and pursue my dream, success will follow. If I enchant myself, others will be too.
