About this artwork
"Drowning Dishonesty" | 143x143 cm | oak framed
This pivotal piece marks a dramatic departure from my traditional nature series, emerging from my own journey of transformation. It represents the cathartic moment of leaving my corporate career to pursue my true calling as an artist in Australia. The turbulent reds symbolize both the fear and exhilaration of that decision, while the emerald greens suggest the promise of rebirth and authentic living.…
The painting captures that precise moment when one chooses truth over security, authenticity over conformity. The briefcase - a symbol of corporate life - drifts away as the figure experiences both drowning and liberation simultaneously. This duality speaks to the universal experience of personal metamorphosis and the courage required to embrace one's true path.

I transform ancient Eastern wisdom into monumental contemporary artworks that serve as portals to contemplative experience. My artistic practice emerged from a decade of deep wilderness immersion - sitting in stillness by remote rivers, discovering profound clarity in Australia's vast natural spaces. These experiences, combined with my roots in Chinese culture and dedication to Daoist philosophy, enable me to create work that dissolves boundaries between East and West, tradition and innovation.
Through a meditative process of layering ink washes and hand-crafted rice paper on large-scale canvases (1.6-3m), I orchestrate a dance between spontaneity and precision. Each piece begins in complete surrender to the flow of materials, allowing organic patterns to emerge naturally. These foundational landscapes are then transformed through carefully placed paper elements, creating dynamic spaces where viewers can discover their own path to stillness.
