Create freely, try more new methods, explore art and painting more deeply, and convey inspiration and aspects through connection with the world.
When I think about a problem, it’s like throwing a stone into the lake, causing waves and ripples, creating a lot of imagination and pictures, and I use painting to make my ripples convey to others.
Most of my creations are produced in my life. At certain moments, the pictures appear in my mind like this, like vines growing and spreading wildly, and I salvaged them ashore and painted them through my hands, trying to show that Picture in the mind.
In addition, portrait painting has always been a creation that I am very interested in. I will observe the details of each person and combine various drawing methods to present it.Whenever I hear a guest or friend say that I draw a portrait, I am actually very happy, because I know that sometimes the feeling of conveying characteristics and charm will resonate.

Immersed in literature; love illustrations; they are all forms of art as well as embody our life. Keep exploring in these two worlds.
Works are inspired by my daily live and imaginations. The first half of life is limited in standard answers; hope to start the next stage with illustrations; a journey without rushing to find the answer.
In the daily scene, I often hide in my sadness club, imagining the unknown future and add a little bling bling magic to my life. Since I was a child, I was influenced by a teacher who loves all kinds of weird things as I do, he always supported me to use all of my imagination on the canvas, therefore it let my imagination run wild without limitation.
When I was hoping that all the things that can heal sadness can appear in the same space in my imagination, I started to draw sadness clubs, a space that is piled up by the layers of my emotions. There are all kind of figure wearing pink cake skirt full of lace distorted by the music, sitting on the forgotten magic sofa in the sadness club with a glass of melon soda?

#Inserting upside down (in the flesh) is a painful state, but it feels good after being pulled out
#We stand here alone
We live on an island isolated by the world, even if in the land we live is stormy, fortunately we are still standing here, even if we are alone, there will still be a small place in this world where we can stand proudly. The ultimate goal is to hope that every pair of legs standing on this land can be drawn, so this project came to mind.
I will be transformed into the “inverted man”, hoping to get more painting materials through interaction with the audience, and also to make the works have a closer connection with society.
I think everyone has their own weird and unexplainable side. Some can communicate and express directly, but some are impossible, and they will not feel the whole thing. So I want to show the side that I can’t express (in fact, it’s irrational LOL) through my paintings and communicate with the side that everyone can’t express directly.

We enjoy music, reading, and exploring on foot all the time, and we’d like to discuss human relationship with a bystander. So our online magazine ”Ikyoko Ichie” is born.
The origin of the exhibition comes from the question ”Whom did you meet” and “What did you meet”, and ”Ikyoko Ichie” also try to reinterpret it from a bystander-like angle.
In this unprecedented ”ichigo ichie”(いちごいちえ), ”ichigo” means lifetime of human, ”ichie” means people meet together at this very time. We try to interact with viewers through our zine ”Ikyoko Ichie”, and will perform in various ways like hand-drawing, destructing, critical listening, writing and so on.
Finally illustrations will go beyond illustrations, essays will go beyond essays, music will go beyond music, they will turn to tools which helping us to discuss the complicated human relationship and self-identity.
