Latest Painting. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Serow
From my historical novel, The Hearts of One, I composed this piece with restrained tones. I reduced the jungle into a more open space, light against silence, presence against absence.
This work departs from narrative detail to serve balance and composition as art, where contrast and negative space hold the tension, and the hidden becomes the true subject. Doma, the jungle guardian, aims at an unseen prey, unaware that a tiger mirrors his hunt.
It is interesting to place the serow, the goat, away from the target, yet still present for all to see.
Well, this is art, my art that needs no explaination.
My art Today
How i Feel
What i See
I am a deaf, instinctive artist who believes that art is for everyone. My paintings are guided by intuition and reflection, shaped by how I observe and experience the world. I see art as something that enriches our lives and expands our perspectives, rather than simply a commodity to be bought and sold.
I began my journey not as a painter, but as an ecological pond designer, working closely with nature, observing balance, silence, and the behaviour of living systems.
Being deaf shaped the way I experience the world. I learned to observe deeply - movement, light, form, and the quiet presence of nature that often goes unnoticed.
Painting became a natural extension of this way of seeing. My work is instinctive, not constructed - guided by observation, memory, and an internal rhythm rather than rules. A kind of creative freedom that I enjoy.
Today, my paintings explore wildlife, Asian cultural symbolism, portraits, figurative art, and the connection between nature and human experience. Each piece is a reflection of both the external world and an inner landscape shaped by silence and awareness.
My works are created to be lived with, shared, and enjoyed in everyday spaces.
"I paint, after thinking" is my motto.
