Artist Statement

I was born in and grew up in Hong Kong. This is my home with all my family, friends and memories which are deeply relevant and integral to my identity. To reciprocate the love, care and support that this community has provided for me, I would like to preserve the legacy of Hong Kong to show its vital spirit through my paintings, e.g. “Mutual Help”, “Forever Guardian”, “Striving for excellence”,“ Never give up”etc.

What first prompted you to think of becoming an artist?

I didn’t deliberately plan to become an artist. But as a Christian, I deeply believe that it’s God’s will to use my gift to be an artist.

What kind of an artist do you ultimately see yourself?

I would persistently keep learning, creating & interacting with different artists. Meanwhile, I would be pleased to share my experience with them too.

What are you hoping to communicate to the viewer through your work?

Through realistic painting, I can express what the positive energy & vital spirit of Hong Kong to the audience.

Can you explain the process of creating your work?

At first, I have to figure out creative topics and contents to convey a symbolic theme of positive messages about "Hong Kong Spirit" or "Good Hong Kong". Then take related pictures with the leitmotif & express it through the medium of painting.

What is your favourite part of the creative process?

The most favourite part of the creative process should be conceiving different contents at the very beginning and then successfully summarize them into a creative theme through many possibilities.

Can you give us an insight into current projects and inspiration, or what we can look forward to from you in the near future?

The current topic “Aim High” is a painting showing a cow sculpture standing at the top of the flowing water. It signifies positive energy - everyone needs to move upward to achieve the highest goal in life.
