Sobre el Artista

Biography My lifelong passion in art could be dated back to the sixties, when I was taking private classes by local artists including Ng Po-wan (1965-1970), and afterwards, Chen Hok-shu (1971-1973), who cultivated my interest in traditional Western art and equipped me with a store of painting techniques. After graduating at the University of Hong Kong in 1972, I served as a social worker, and later, administrator in the Hong Kong government for two decades. Despite a long departure from the art world, art always has a place in my heart. It was, however, not until 1991, after immigrating to the United States, that I resumed my artistic endeavour. I pursue my studies in Studio Art at the University of California, Irvine, which gave me an opportunity to explore new dimensions and experiment with multi-media techniques. Exposure to contemporary visual art in the west has fine-tuned my perception, and expanded my visual horizons. Throughout the years, my style has evolved from realism to minimalism to conceptualism, and now, to abstract expressionism. No matter how far I go there is a colorful edge pertaining to my works, expressed in a kaleidoscope of forms and thoughtful compositions.
