The Art of Perseverance

We often say that good work has vitality. It is like the sunshine on the white clouds and blue sky, and the breeze in the spring, which can enlighten the mind and warm the soul. Art is aesthetics, what motivates us to see things differently.

I have been fond of art since I was a child. Painting is another way to express my soul, expressing what I see and think. I was born in Malaysia. When I was young, I didn't have good conditions to learn to draw. I could only doodle with a pen, and draw trees, birds, and tall buildings. Later, my mother felt that I was talented, so she found a teacher for me, took me to see art exhibitions, and sent me to study in the UK when I grew up so that my interest could continue.

During my study in the UK, I felt like I was opened to another world, where there are art masters such as Picasso, Van Gogh, Monet, and so on. I wandered into their spiritual world, perceiving the power of art. Know that everything is not easy. The learning process is not that smooth, often because of the imperfection of a painting, I can't let go for a long time; I will also be ridiculed mercilessly by my class-mates because of the last homework; I will encounter the bottleneck period of creation, late I was sad because I couldn't come out late, but I didn't give up, so I was in the best state of mind and body.

After graduation, I started to step into the real world. Over time, my work develops a personal style. I like to leave blanks for my works, taking "empty" as reality, and "simplicity" but not empty. Art allows us to develop our imagination out of nothing. Only those who truly love life are those who understand art. Thank you for making me brave to be myself, to say what I want to say, and to always keep my love for art.
