I studied at HKU School of visual arts in Utrecht, Holland and SVA School of visual arts in New York.
I use pretty basic materials. I paint mainly with acrylic paints and mediums. My preferred brand is TriArt and I only use their gesso, both black and white for all of my paintings. I mix glossy and matte acrylic mediums with paint and I experiment a lot with those. Sometimes I paint with some graffiti paints like Grog (non-acrylic) Molotow or On The Run. I use their paint markers as well. When I sketch or draw I use white drawing pencils.
I get influenced by architecture, nature, and technology. I love everything that has a pattern or could create a pattern. I love unusual forms and I’m actively looking for them in my surroundings. I’m fascinated by light and reflection, especially at night and I like how darkness can transform and reshape the natural proportions of an object. I also like experimenting with colors and the color choices in my paintings are often vibrant and bold.
I like stretching my own canvases and I’ve never made a painting that’s not stretched by me. It allows me to have any size and thickness of stretchers I want. I also like to paint on premium quality linen canvas that can’t be found on pre-made canvases.
I’ve been painting for about 25 years.
I use liner brushes. I paint exclusively with liner brushes for line art and everything else. I like Princeton Select liner brushes and I change them with new ones after every 2-3 paintings as they get easily worn out. I also use handmade liner brushes like Trekell and Rosemary & Co.
