/I'm an emotional soul, living in a rational mind/

Hi, if you've read my introduction, you would know I studied psychology but doing tattoos now. 

I still am struggling with identifying myself as an artist. 

But one of my very good friends once told me, "putting your art in front of people, is not really about how good it is, it's about how much permission you give it to yourself and to your works'

So here I am, presenting my paintings to you.

This series of works is about "me".

Have you ever felt that way, having a lot of emotions but then your mind just telling you to suppress it?

Growing up in an Asian environment, I learned to or was framed to be like that.

I thought it's a good thing, because then you behave "properly" in front of others.

only when I was in my late 20's, I realized I was too suppressed that I didn't really know how to feel. 

Then I started meeting my therapist, growing some basic sense back is a very weird process.

As if I were a baby, learning how to walk.

These paintings are showing how my emotions get suppressed, exploded then came into peace. 

It's not a cycle that follows the same sequence all the time.

Sometimes everything comes all together, sometimes I only experience one part.

I like to use soft and bright colors to express my sorrow.

Not beacuse it's light, it's still quite heavy to me. 

But somehow I want to see it as a growing pain, which it brings beautiful outcome to my life.

Hope you enjoy:)
