I am a contemporary artist who works in figurative and gestural painting on canvas. The primary mediums I use in my work are acrylic paints and sometimes watercolour. The subjects of paintings are nature and landscape or other things I like which is nature again!

My work has primary focus on the uses of grid – for its neatness, structural property and for the sense of ‘order’. And my painting technique is watered-down acrylic, why? To mimic watercolour on canvas.

The individual smaller paintings are cut in the squares and rectangles. This is because I have been conditioned to believe that I can see the entirety of the ‘picture’ within a square shaped frame and which can be seen with the uses of TV screens, computers, books and now phones to the windows. A square or rectangular shape has come to be my comfort shape, as it’s a shape I am most familiar with in my daily life and this led me to have an automatic sense of ‘order’ associated with that shape.

My individual painting (squares or rectangles) within the grid expresses my playfulness and freedom with art and the grid is there to contain its excessive liberty. Personally, my work has a calming effect on me, that’s due to personal attachment I have towards these places. For example, ‘Hazy Memories’, 2024, brought out sense of peace and harmony after being assembled into grid and a sense of playfulness within the work. As for my viewers, I wish my work encourages them to see beauty in simple things.
