ARTIST STATEMENT

During the lockdown of 2020, I have to say my life became extremely miserable and depressing. Nevertheless things are not alway negative. During this period, I found that one's visual perception actually could be influenced by it's emotion and sensation. This just happened incidentally one night by longing for freedom and took fresh breath at my terrace. I looked at the sky and amazingly the world around me appeared to totally blue, blue sky as well as all buildings. Hence I am so fascinated and started to do research in a scientific way with our five senses. Followed by researching on correlation of colour and the form. I find that the interrelationship between color and mood which is in certain aspect could have been subject by the external factors.

I intend to use color to express my own feeling. I am particularly fascinated on how the light, one’s sentiment and six senses could potentially affect our visual perspective in perceiving the color of the subjects/buildings.

As a matter of fact, colours of the canvas gives me a sense of freshness, joyfulness and delightfulness as well as contentment.
