Ordinary Wonderland
Series
(2022 - Present)
Ordinary Wonderland series is inspired by my daily observation of events, expressed in a surrealistic way. Each work has its own story and something I needed to hear from my inner self at certain period of time.
Everything happens for you (2023)
Pastels, watercolors, colored pencils and pencils
38" H x 55"W
- Inspired by an unordinary story of a rescued blind owl named Zeus. After seeing a small image of his face with the eyes that seemed to contain the whole universe, I immediately started painting this work. I imagined the perfect world for him from my perspective, having the best friend next to him, the hand always taking care of him and an oddly beautiful world.
Free yourself (2022)
Pastels, pencils, watercolors and colored pencils
58" H x 56"W
- Inspired by one of my orchid plants that hadn't bloomed for more than 2 years. Somehow, I reflected myself in the orchid, struggling to bloom for a few years. I painted it with my wish and visualized it would bloom beautifully with full of vibrant colors. Believe it or not, it surprisingly bloomed after I finished this painting. As I painted its roots growing in a wild way and proudly shining the leaves, the real plant still shows off the beauty of wildness in its roots and leaves until this day.
You are precious (2022)
Pastels, colored pencils, pencils, acrylic inks and watercolors
55"H x 42"W
- Story of a little yellow bird that I rescued on a driveway near Bryant Park in New York City. The memory of warmth from holding the precious little bird in my hand led me to paint this work. As I was painting, I came to the realization that I wasn't nice enough to myself as the bird I encountered randomly. This is a painting for the memory of the bird and me.
Perspective (2022)
Pencils, pastels, oil pastels, colored pencils, acrylic inks and watercolors
55"H x 37"W
- As I get older and gain more life experience, my perspective has changed gradually. Things that I was holding onto greatly disappeared, things that I was believing hard were vanished. Life wasn’t about black and white; it is about full of vibrant colors.
