ARTIST STATEMENT |
“Art has become a way to express myself.” Everyone has their untold stories but when they decided to share them, there are different ways of sharing. I do have my own way to talk about my stories, which is through art. I find out that art/painting is the easier way for me to communicate with people. This might be linked to my personality as an introvert which caused me hiding my feelings and thoughts often. As growing up in a Chinese – Malaysian family household, I was brought up as a shy person in the conservative culture background,
I find it is difficult to bring out my feelings and speak out my mind since young. Everything has been hidden and kept deep inside me unintentionally. While furthering my academic abroad, I embrace the cultural differences in an unfamiliar place and find there are some challenges to deal with the circumstances and emotions. At the same time,I started some photographs and digital works to expand my perspective and knowledge in art. The meaning of art can be different to people. However, to me, I hope my art encourages people out there to capture what they experienced and how they feel about it through art. |
