ARTIST’S STATEMENT

Artist statement (ChatGPT)

As an artist born in Hong Kong, I find inspiration in the vibrant intersection of art, nature, portraiture, and storytelling. My work is a reflection of my deep love for these elements, blending them together to create meaningful and captivating pieces.

Nature has always held a special place in my heart, and I strive to capture its beauty and essence through my art. Whether it's the delicate petals of a flower or the sweeping landscapes, I aim to evoke a sense of awe and wonder, inviting viewers to connect with the natural world.

Portraiture is another significant aspect of my artistic expression. Through my portraits, I aim to delve into the intricate emotions and narratives that lie within each individual. Every face tells a story, and I am passionate about unraveling these stories and bringing them to life on canvas. I believe that by capturing the essence of a person, we can foster empathy and understanding among diverse cultures and backgrounds.

Storytelling is an integral part of my artistic process. I believe that art has the power to transcend language and cultural barriers, and through storytelling, I can communicate universal emotions and experiences. Whether it's through symbolic imagery or visual narratives, I strive to create a dialogue between the artwork and the viewer, inviting them to engage with the story unfolding before them.

Overall, my artist statement is a testament to my dedication to art, nature, portraiture, and storytelling. Through my work, I hope to inspire others, foster connections, and ignite a sense of wonder and appreciation for the beauty and diversity of our world.

Women in rural Ethiopia have a hard life, including carrying heavy loads of wood and water for long distances.  It is harvest season and these two women are plodding along a rural road in northern Ethiopia with their large bales of straw. The grain and chaff have been removed from it by walking cattle in a circle over it.  The straw can be used for bedding, cattle food, fuel, thatching or mixed with clay as a building material.
