梌 㠯 ... I
had a dream during my childhood; that is to be a
painter because I was enchanted by the marvelous paintings from Picasso, Van Gogh and Turner.
I
had a dream when I grew up; that is to be a cartoonist because I became immersed and captivated by the magical world of Sailor Moon, Saint Seiya and the Powerpuff Girls.
I
had a dream while I journeyed through adolescence; that is to be a game designer because I was inspired by the fabulous scenes in Aion, vivid characters in Ace Attorney and intriguing gameplay in Ghost Trick.
I
had a dream After I graduate from tertiary school; that is to become an integrated designer, harnessing my knowledge and skills and employing them in creating useful and relevant designs that will benefit society in the coming years.
My
dreams may have morphed over the years, but they have remained fundamentally the same and have reflected my true passion in art. This tiny dream in my heart to pursue art has never changed and will continue to drive me forward in my pursuit.
D
espite missing the chance to study art during my undergraduate years, I have done my best in seizing any opportunity to expand and enrich my skill-sets by choosing various general-educational and elective classes, joining in professional student organizations and studying abroad several times to broaden my perspective.

The TOPICs what I'd love to research are: History-Western Painting vs Chinese Painting, Feeling and Emotion, Communication and Culture-Western Christianism and Catholicism vs Chinese Confucianism and Taoism by various FORMs, such as, Installation, Painting, Architecture, AI, Graphics, Media. My favorite contemporary artists is Gorden Matta Clark. I will continue to strive towards mastering the essence of his arts and realizing my ideas step-by-step.
I' ll
take the role as an ambassador for cultural
interaction - to introduce more excellent contemporary artists to China and to develop education of contemporary art in China as well.
