I love beautiful things. I love making things. I love making things beautiful. My art is my journey in interpreting the world around me, a learning process in understanding myself as an artist and as a person. It's a fluid process, experimenting different techniques, mixing medium from traditional to modern, fine art with contemporary graphic design. Salvador Dali was my first professional painter hero. I'm always amazed by his surrealistic techniques in conveying the realistic world. After I discovered visual art in 9th grade, I pretty much tuned out the other subjects in school. This made my parents very nervous but luckily I made it out OK. I continued painting throughout the year, experimenting with different medium to find my voice. I draw inspirations from my family, friends and the world around me. As a father, a software designer by trade and a fine artist by night, I continuously push myself to discover a unique voice in my work, which could be very exciting and chaotic. My latest series called "chaosmatic" is my interpretation of chaos in the world, by using anime-inspired line-characters to inject fun into the piece. I use anything from random shapes to things which reminded me of my childhood. Fish, rabbit, robot, octopus, rocket and many other fun, random things, intermingle in one environment. I use mostly wood-board as the base, acrylic, wax and paint marker as the main medium to draw my characters. I then build them up in layers to create the sense of chaotic, yet fun and energetic environment. With it, I wish to brighten the chaotic world one painting at a time.
