Artist Statement

My paintings are often portraiture of trauma. Fascinated by the evocative quality of everyday objects and scenery I encountered, I see these objects as vessels for deep emotions, memories and imagination. Through applying my set of traumatic colour scheme, I reinterprete the objects with personal narratives and imbued layer of strokes with unsettling emotions to create sense of isolation and quietness.

 

In my practice, I explore the boundaries between familiar and the emotional, using painting as a springboard to delve into the unseen narratives hidden within objects. Like exorcism, I use painting as a tool to capture the uncanny, the haunted and loneliness within and reveal deeper emotions of viewers, hoping to invite viewers to relate on their own experiences, resonate with the deep subconscious and project their innermost self upon gazing.
