I create images using forms of Chinese calligraphy as my version of abstraction, expressing my respect for my tradition and a positive perspective on life. Using a brush to paint reminds me of my early life and strengthens my passion for my culture. The way I paint comes out of me, rather than following what I see in reality.
Chinese calligraphy is from my ancestry, representing the tradition and culture that I grew up with. The movement and rhythm of Chinese Calligraphy are traces of my memory that touch my emotions and inspire my creativity. These emotions lead me to action, predetermined not by language but by composition. The composition is my world where my own language is developed.
The possibility of abstraction opens my mind as it allows me to explore Chinese calligraphical forms with non-representational colours to develop images. In the process of exploring, I discover different perspectives on life, my tradition and culture. The imaginary landscape, human figure, and atmosphere represent energy, love, and hope reflecting what I feel.
Bright colours are selected to express my positive perspective on life. The bright colours in the sky and in rivers where I live stimulate my imagination. Based on the colours and brush strokes, an experimental and imaginary atmosphere is created. The result fascinates and energizes me to continue to create my work. The creative process is a way to keep my inner peace.
