Time to make some magic-  ideas come from making some fun, dreamlike, and delicate paintings. Scenery is based in Manchester, UK. People and occasions such as Wedding parties, Manchester Christmas Parade, Birthday parties and occasion etc. I am originally from Hong Kong which gave me a different perspective to see the culture and I am immersed in it. Thank you, MCR.

The Year of Dragon

Ink and watercolor on rice paper mounted on cotton paper
Applying Ink on the rice paper makes the surface crinkled and uneven. The traditional method of mounting not only re-stretches these materials but also brings out all the subtleties and luminescence in the ink and color pigment, which are not apparent beforehand.

Chinese Painting

Series of Barcelona

Original oil, ink, and watercolor on A4 acid paper and canvas. The idea of cake series with a playful celebration. Everyone like cake and life should be celebrated for any moment to remember. A candle blowing does make people smile with a happy mood. I think the idea of this cake series I want to make some fun and happy moments in contemporary paintings. The media I use is Ink and watercolor because it has created the flame effect I had experiments with it over and over and light and fire are an element of life. I like the result of the flame and the candle. The body of cake I made more texture on it. As the series gets more, I am investigating the background creating the atmospheric scenery. Thank you for your interest. :)
