A little bit about me

My Story

Born with spinal muscular atrophy, I progressively lose ability to control some aspects of my daily life. I used to feel that my life was meaningless until I owned an electric wheelchair to regain mobility and independence at my age of 24. On the day when the electric wheelchair was delivered to my home, I gingerly walked to a deli to buy a lunch box alone. The small step means a lot to me. I can start to envision myself as a wrestler who nimbly evades and bravely fights.

 

As moving around the town becomes less an issue, I ponder the question, “What is my purpose in life?” My first urge is to learn painting. Since then, I never stop sharpening my skills and mastering the techniques to create my unique artworks. A half-year workshop taught by the famous illustrator in Taiwan, Lucy Chen, affected my approach to frame a strong image by juxtapositioning symbolic elements to present the poetic reality and strong emotion. My talent of art began to blossom, and won several awards consecutively. The sense of freedom that painting gives me has guided me through the journey to reject the internalization of the social prejudice, redefine myself, search my new identity, and ultimately express my interaction with the world comfortably through art lenses.

 

過去、現在、未來,不停的轉變是自己的生命的形式。

 

出生罹患了隨著年齡增長而逐漸喪失全身肌力而癱瘓的疾病-脊髓性肌肉萎縮症。直到二十四歲的時候開始學習繪畫,人生有了另一個開始,走上藝術創作這條路。

 

作品從自身探討疾病的原由,面對與周遭的存在感受到生命經驗的思考,將潛意識轉化成畫布上的細胞、線條和色塊等,內在的力量透過創作媒材無限延伸。

 

不單單只是在創作平面的畫作,而是在生產每個人生階段關於生命的記憶,累積沈澱對整體生命思維。作品變化性承載對生命及藝術的態度。
