inspiration

Torn between abstraction and realism, these are the prime concepts I felt most of my artworks would reciprocate with. Because of my love to approach a vagueness style, I would often create artworks that would seem utopian and distorted. Whether it is from scribbles of random shapes and lines shaping into a building design, or seeing the simplicity in spaces, I like to regard myself as an observant and versatile artist who likes to explore different mediums. In consideration of how art has no fixed formula for getting a perfect outcome, I visualize art coming hand in hand with various fields in society. If art can move the viewer's imagination and emphasize the importance of elements of designs and compositions within spaces, I believe art still has the power to create discoveries that would feel at home. Because with art, I feel at home.
