Geometry on Portraiture 2.0 Painting

I quit my finance career in 2013 to pursue art. Making art allows me to make peace with myself, overcome disappointments and satisfy the ever-present curiosity. It provides me with a mechanism to dig deep within myself, which explains the autobiographical nature of my works. My works are not mature. I like to experiment with different ideas, often linking the present with the past, whenever they resonated with me. ​You probably noticed the presence of objects, windows, walls and house fixtures. My family is in the hardware store business. As a kid, I used to love playing in the store. ​Besides growing up with entrepreneurial men and building materials, I was very privileged to have been nurtured by strong and sensible women in the house. Their cooking, handcrafts and wisdom would soothe anyone's soul. I dedicate my works with patterns, flowers and topics of femininity to them. And my work about Nature, that is for me. The mountains, the trees, they are all for me. I have been living in crowded cities all my life. No one really has introduced it to me, besides Mother Nature herself. ​At a personal level, I am like many integrated nomads who started in the East and ended up in the West. I was born in Indonesia, grew up with Chinese values, spent 20 adult years in Australia and now call Berlin (Germany) home.
