Figures in my artworks are being engaged in improbable but not totally impossible task, filling up the whole picture frame. With the expression on one’s face, it tells the moment and feeling that the eye cannot see. It deals with the metaphorical comments on human condition, struggling in silence for survival. My artworks show a particular intensity, a particular tension, that is present in people. What i am painting is not the real and not the unreal but rather an unconscious feeling. I do not feel the need to capture everything exactly as what it is in so-called reality. By using my own colour scheme and creating works which are in a surreal, dream-like atmosphere comes closer to capturing what is more real to me. Human’s mind is largely resilent, while admitting one’s weakness, there is a way to break us free from our own frame. My fondest wish is for these images to speak to your soul. Some (most) of my paintings portrayed human figures with their eyes shut as if in denial of the ongoing changes of the social environment. Yet it also indicate a sense of longing for hope and a better future. This is my personal, emotional form of art which should be thought provoking. The artist, like the philosopher, is fully committed to a truth-seeking activity, trying to see below the surface of things and acquire a deeper understanding of human experience. My only wish is the viewers would get some special feelings of something personal from my artworks.

A practising artist in Singapore since 2003. Our consciousness will be changing according to the society we are living in, our sense of reality or illusion is an amalgamation of our memories and experience. So our reactions to people in society are very much depends on consciousness. The material world seems so real to us, but the way we live in it, the way we communicate with people is so precarious and illusive. I am interested in the urban condition and what lies beneath the facade of a person. My aim is to present the grey area of the above understanding in this fast changing society. Some of us judge people purely by appearance, or some will judge even without seeing them. So does the body really matter? Perhaps we care too much about this material body, and any happiness or sorrow it brings us is only illusion. Plato insists that artists are just creating appearances, not the actual real things. When I transform my consciousness onto the paper, they become representations of my experience. And like what Picasso said, Art is a lie, but it is a lie that makes us realize the truth. May we see below the surface of these fact of uncertainty to have a deeper understanding of human condition.
