My expressive brushwork in watercolour serves as a medium to process personal thoughts and observations of suffering and beauty that I journal. Themes of the temporal, longing, suffering, vanity, and memory are explored in my work, which is intentionally contrasted by the use of vibrant and illuminating colours.
My recent works feature a play between comfortable tolerance of vague, abstracted forms and places of clarity and high-detail rendering. The style of my paintings nods to the brushwork and ethos of my Chinese heritage and Western education, which had been a point of contention and distress in my early childhood.
However, today, I work from a place that is firmly seated in a position of simultaneous sadness and deep-rooted joy. My art serves as a testament to the complexity of my experiences and emotions, allowing me to communicate my innermost thoughts and feelings with the world.
