Leaving The Legacy Behind

After a long week, C day's project of facial expression is done. The portraits are painted with only black and white paint.

Artist Statement

A photographer by the name of Ken Rockwell once said ‘An artist fixes his imagination in a tangible form called a photograph. He captures the spirit of place or person, real or imagined, in this photograph and the viewer responds to this.’

From young, I have been fascinated with images. It first started as a hobby but soon it grew into something that I would consider to be my passion. Photography tells a lot of things when the image is captured with a single click. I feel that a photograph tells me more than what most typical individual would think. However, it tells me a story and the mood of the source. To many, photography is very simple and boring, it doesn’t involve any hands on like painting or drawing. There is more than meets the eyes. The ambience is one of the key factors that play an important role of making the image a good piece of photography. Gradually over the years, photography has become popular. My favourite photography images would be seeing nature in digital eyes. It’s very sad to see Mother Nature being destroyed. Who knows one day the photography of nature would be priceless. I hope to capture these images, which in the future will be the past.

Clay Animal

This is another of my clay work. This time, a frog.

Painting

This was a project given to paint a particular part of LASALLE-SIA. For some reason, I have chosen the view with a tree.

Mixed Media

This is a portrait which I have done using the most bizarre items like rice grain, mosquito coil, paint, white glue and news paper.

Pen Drawing

Just a figure drawing using pen.

Fast and furious

The beauty of camera's view. Unlike our naked eyes, this kind of image can be attained only with the use of a camera.

Emotions

Emotions play a vital role of setting a mood.

Nature

I have always love nature. Trust me, the view from the highest point in Genting is to die for. It was an unforgettable and breathtaking moment. Believe it or not, this picture was taken with a camera phone.

Wire Project

This is one of the group projects that I will never forget. We spend almost close to a month erecting this durian wire figure. During the process, many of us got minor cuts and bruises while twisting and cutting the wires. However, the final work was satisfying!

My Mural Design

Well before any paintings begin, there must be brainstorming and sketches to be done. As this is a group project, everyone had to do a few designs for the mural painting. This is one of the designs which I have chosen for the mural which I tried my best to incorporate National Education in an abstract artistic manner. The 5 arrows represent total defence while the 3 fingers on the right represents the decades Singapore had been through. The white and red face is an indication of us Singaporeans to play a part in sustaining Singapore's growth.

Clay

Clay project. This was a very enjoyable but messy project. Many things can be created from just a slab of clay. It is like "Play-Do" Need I say more?
