"Painting on-site is a practice shared by many eastern and western masters, from shi-tao to claude monet, resulting in an expansive abstract. much of my work is painted in this way, as it enables me to capture the ambience of the environment and nature- through the deep knowledge of the space, the inner beauty is ingrained in the artwork. i have a strong connection with the sense of space that is often emphasised in ink painting. drawing from my studies under ink master hung hoi and experience as a designer, every layer in my paintings captures changes in light over time, recording the state of mind and emotions at that moment. it is a time lapse with mono color scheme. i believe that chinese painting rarely employs such contemporary ideas, and i'm excited to share my unique vision through my work".
