My imaginative universe of art is inspired by nature, music and eastern spiritual concepts. The art forms of abstract expression I create in my paintings are unique and alive, full of bursting and positive energy. I try to capture the moments from memories and emotions for my creation. I hope my abstract paintings can invoke dialogues and stretch the imagination. My intention is to actively create positivity and transcend beyond ordinary life in an upright and bright manner.My art is aimed to condense the elements in life and essence of the universe onto canvas. Dripping, dropping, swiping are usually the beginning of my practice and I let the color mix of fluid acrylic and flashe paint move around organically with the manipulation of brush strokes. I especially apply brush techniques I have learned from calligraphy to create the dynamic feelings in my painting. My practice is very intuitive, liberating, and personal, with the intention to create a play of colors and forms that invite open discussion and interpretation. It's also a way of expressing my gratitude for every moment, living and breathing, as well as my love and respect for the world as it hopefully recovers from covid.
