Green: Two Sides Lie Within

This green series of paintings is inspired by the nature around us. It reflects my sensibility and thoughts through my perception of nature. On the canvas, I create surfaces and marks from the reference of the rigidity of tree bark and the soft floral imagery. The juxtaposition of heavy, solid textures and the dream-like ecstatic imageries suggests the co-existence of two extremes in nature, and yet the symbiosis results in a harmony and calmness. I explore such a state of balance between the two sides of everything in our world through my paintings.
