Every single time I paint, I hear history whispering through the flow of time, telling the story of my ancestors, when fish fly up to the sky, carrying family’s wishes for luck and happiness to the universe, when people nurture long hair as it was a gift from the parents to welcome them into life, a symbol of their identity.
Each painting visualized what I heard from this voice, taking me into a nuanced interplay between past and present, letting me speak out the inner orchestrated chaos of a kid growing up in a floating world.
I invite you to ‘have a conversation’ with my paintings, and listen to the stories that travel through time and space, to meet you here in this moment.
Additionally, I am exploring innovative approaches such as virtual reality (VR) art to create experiences where people can visualize a message and interpret a painting in their own way. This provides a platform for everyone to engage with art on their term.
