PINK Painting

Currently based in Kuala Lumpur, I have journeyed across the globe over the past 30 years as an expatriate, and this life has profoundly influenced and shaped my artistic style, transcending well beyond a mere odyssey. My existence has transformed into a complete immersion in the diversity of the world, where climatic variations, foreign languages, and cultural subtleties have forged the very essence of my artistic approach. The foundations of this life demand unique adaptive systems, where the five senses play a pivotal role. The diversity of languages impedes the use of words, compelling me to explore alternative forms of communication. Careful observation of expressions and gestures has become crucial for decoding contexts, with each smile in Asia carrying different meanings than in Europe. Listening to the surrounding sounds serves as a guide, revealing everyday life and potential signals of danger. Touch, evolving with encountered cultures, transforms sometimes intrusive gestures into warm connections, while the exploration of new flavors makes taste and smell my allies, unveiling the subtleties of things while exposing their rawness. As an artist, my body translates this hypersensitivity into a rich emotional palette. I am not merely an observer but a person emotionally connected to every nuance of my life. Each of my works is an authentic transmission of my experiences, with each color, texture, and artistic choice imbued with the unique sensation of those moments, offering a visceral experience of my artistic journey. Regarding artistic technique, I have developed my own approach by merging the traditional art of Chinese lacquer, characterized by its finesse and meticulousness, with an abstract and contemporary style. Thus, my artistic style becomes a distinctive signature, a specific fusion of my personal experience, emotions, and artistic vision. Through my artistic work, I strive to create an immersive experience where the viewer is not just an observer but an emotional participant. Every brushstroke, every layer of carefully applied Chinese lacquer, and every abstract element in my artistic composition is designed to evoke a deep resonance in the viewer's soul. As they contemplate my works, the audience is invited to explore their own emotional palette, relive sensory experiences, and feel the subtle nuances that inspired each creation.
