Tell us one of the painful things you have done so that you can keep making art?
Ever since I decided to study art in university, I stopped making art for a few years during public examinations so as to enter the art school. This sounds contradictory but because I did not have outstanding academic result back then, so I have to gain good grades and strive for bigger bargaining power to study art in university. It was my little strategy but life was like hell during that period. I just hate public examination.
I always experience loneliness and insecurity in different stage of life, just like most of us nowadays; and I transform such feelings into oil painting. I paint from photographs which I find suitable momentarily, but instead of copying them directly, I have chosen only the elements that are important to my feeling or memory, and captured the space with a symbolic object to represent the strolling life in the city.
