Artist Statement

I am drawn to beautiful objects that catch my eye, and most of them are found in nature. In the process of painting, I ponder the details, colors, light and shadow to reach artistic goal. Meanwhile, I feel great joy swinging my brush on paper. When a painting is created, the feeling of achievement is like tasting a glass of sweet red wine. As an artist, I capture the beauty of nature and bestow it a new life by my hands.

我被引起我注意的美麗事物所吸引著，其中大多數都是在自然界中發現的。在作畫的過程中思考著細節、色彩、光影來達到藝術的目的。與此同時， 在紙上揮舞著畫筆讓我感到無比的喜悅。當一幅畫創作出來時，那種成就感就像品嚐了一杯甜紅酒一樣。 作為一名藝術家，我捕捉自然之美，並用我的雙手賦予它新的生命。
