Moment of Pause

My works are inspired from the principles of Zen garden, in which the emphasis of the self awareness lies on the simple, tranquil, empty, serene and calm place in relation with nature. The presence of mindfulness in my paintings alludes to the visual experience in landscapes and the perceptible energy in nature. Being in the landscape encourages me to experience the stillness, calmness, emptiness, quietness, serenity, timelessness and mindfulness. This moment of pause is a meditative and contemplative as well as self-reflective.

I keep the image simple, minimal and even monochromatic to focus on colours. Colour is the important element to suggest the atmospheric mood and vibe I want to create in the painting. Lines created by hand-sewn canvas threads add the sense of tactility of the material and the originality. Multiple layers of the colour bring the subtlety of the painting. I wish viewers enjoy their own moment of pause to experience the same.
