Artist Survey
Q: Can you describe your studio space?
A: My studio is in Los Angeles and it's a hybrid maker space with some sculpting and woodworking tools as well as gaming computers and a Virtual Reality setup. I am thinking of starting to host some exhibition and performance programming to open the space to a wider public.

Q: What emotions are you channeling into your art? A: I come from a family of generations of immigrants, and being the first member in the Americas no doubt images of boats and inflatables immediately remind me of the trials and tribulations of immigrants and refugees. But I deliberately stay away from negative elements in my art. Having experienced my share of tragedies in life, and as someone with depressive tendencies, I think at least my paintings should express some joy or positivity.
Artist Survey
Q: What emotions are you channeling into your art? A: I want to share with people my passion for what I do and how I feel about creating and making things. Whether is painting, sculpting or designing spaces, what is most exhilarating to me is the creative process.
Artist Survey
Q: What is your art for? A: My paintings are social commentaries about things going on in or around my life, so I suppose the art is for me and my thoughts. But I like to think I make art for others to enjoy and take whatever meaning they get from it in their own way.
Artist Survey
Q: What emotions are you channeling into your art? A: My paintings are somewhat of a paradox, or a duality. I'm such a sensitive person, everything I experience can feel so amplified, the beauty and the pain.
