I used to live in Taipei, the capital city of Taiwan. When I seriously wanted to make art, I moved to Taichung the center of this island, a city more little, quiet, slow pace, and had fewer people living there.

And that time I did a user-interface designer job in a start-up AI-tech company.

Covid comes, the company shoots the business down. so that I just thinking about maybe use the money given by the government to create my own art Business, but the process it’s not smooth.

Because in the past, I always did artwork as a job, so that I didn’t really know how to do business there, if I live in the capital, I have lots of opportunities from others, they love art very much so I can apply events. That let me understand… I should go to another space to develop my career as artist related job.

Because that time I was trying to create some content on social media, to avoid in the near future, if galleries take too much fee but do nothing for me I can have another choice.

Then I met Melis, who saw my art value and helped me definite a road I can go overseas, so that’s why I go to exhibitions and experience overseas.

In my hometown, Taichung people often ask me, is it worth it for me to do so many artistic works? No one wants to collect my paintings (I originally didn’t like to expose them to others).

But I don’t think the value of art lies in how much money it can make or how many collectors it has.

It just depends on how enthusiastic you are, whether your thinking about the work is focused and in-depth, and whether your skills are properly polished and can be properly displayed in conjunction with the work.

It is also because of this that I often polish my works again and again and create them very slowly, because I hope to convey the complete atmosphere, ideas, and world view to everyone.

When I went to London, Rome, and Venice for exhibitions, one thing impressed me deeply.

While in Rome I met an artist who was an interior designer and she was quite dissatisfied with her paintings being hung on narrow walls instead of mainly blank walls, which caused a lot of conflict and the need to fill in for her Change to a larger wall surface.

This thing is quite shocking to me. I have never felt that there is any difference between placing my paintings on a narrow wall and a huge wall.

I just think that as long as other people’s hearts and eyes can absorb my work and inspire that person, then it is a good way of dialogue.

So when I was in Venice, I didn’t participate in the exhibition because I was rushing back to Taiwan to deal with other career matters (at that time, someone wanted me to set up an organization to take Taiwanese artists to hold exhibitions abroad, so they wanted to negotiate with me and let me I hired them, but then I didn’t (I was more interested in sharing than making other artists’ money).

Then it was funny. My works were hung on the narrow wall. I don’t know if that was the reason why I kept talking to the interior designer that day (because I wanted to know how she sold her paintings. I didn’t know what happened next. Is it possible to cooperate with her? At that time, I thought that cooperation with interior designers would actually be a very good way to sell and promote art works, but now it is not. Maybe I will write about it when I have free time.)

Even so, I felt helpless towards the exhibition group, and at the same time, I felt it was very funny. Is this a way to retaliate against me for talking to her? (If it is seriously happend, it gonna to make me felt they are so “child”…..wtf….lol)

Even though, I didn’t angry with.

Rather then I just saw in the picture of exhibition opening, an old man taking picture front of my art and look like very curious. That make me feel touched!

The beauty of these artworks is not merely in their appearance; it lies in their ability to touch people’s hearts deeply and resonate without the artist’s explanation. They evoke profound meaning and can even shift perspectives, offering more than just visual appeal.

That’s the reason I love making art. I love to share people with my feelings, also make them thinking about their-self, that’s why I join an exhibition to open the  convastation with people, trying to connect them.
