artist statement
For me, all my artwork, regardless if it is painting, drawing, sculpture or photography - whatever the medium or technique might be - it is the language and expression of my personal views and ideology about the world surrounding us and the world I like it to be. In creating art, I try to share with people what I see as beautiful or as ugly. In other words, what is right and what is wrong. In a hope that we will appreciate the beautiful, so to promote the right and denounce the ugly, therefore to avoid the wrong. I firmly believe that art should not be an end itself but a vehicle for social change.
