Self Portrait

Medium: Oil on Canvas

Size: 36 x 24

This self-portrait captures a moment of introspection and self-exploration, highlighting personal identity and the complexity of self-representation. The inclusion of the plum blossom, the national flower of China, subtly acknowledges cultural heritage. These flowers are blended into the dark background to create contrast and depth. The intentional choice of a white blouse balances the rich tones, enhancing the overall composition. Ultimately, this self-portrait reflects on the layers of identity that shape each individual, conveyed through the plum blossom and the carefully chosen color palette.

A Sip of Imagination

Medium: Charcoal on Paper

Size: 42 x 28

This artwork reimagines a common object—a milk carton—into a playful portal that leads to a different world. By shifting our perspective, what appears to be a simple container opens up to reveal a delightful scene inside. It's a lighthearted take on how ordinary items can spark our imagination and transport us to unexpected places.

Inside the carton, you'll find a miniature “milk town,” where familiar shapes like cartons and jugs come to life as buildings and streets. This transformation invites viewers to step into a fantastical realm that challenges our perceptions of everyday life. It's not just about milk; it's about how we can see the world differently if we let our imaginations run free.

The piece reminds us that even the simplest things can hold a universe of possibilities if we take a moment to look closer. In a world where we often rush through our daily routines, this artwork encourages us to pause, appreciate, and find the fun in the ordinary.

Between the Lines

Medium: Oil on Canvas

Size: 20 x 16

This painting explores the subtle tension between creation and mystery. The man, guided in his writing by an unseen force, mirrors how our thoughts and actions can be shaped by influences beyond our full understanding. As they hold up the paper, the writing remains concealed, suggesting that not everything we create or express is fully transparent.

The obscured message represents the hidden layers of meaning that often exist in our work, thoughts, and ideas. What is visible is only a fragment of a larger, more complex whole. This piece invites viewers to consider how much of what we produce remains unknown, and how the act of creation itself can involve an interplay between control and the unknown, leaving room for interpretation and discovery.
