“Dream” has always been the powerful driving force for the continuous advancement of mankind.
However, is having a dream bound to succeed?
I met my mid-life crisis at the age of 45, which also marked the turning point in my life.
That was the year where my husband and I had lost our jobs!
What’s next? I asked myself…
So I took out my paintbrush that had been sealed for a long time and began to paint.
In 2018, I spent the whole year painting a bunch of artworks that no one will pay attention to.
They were the kind of works that you can only expect a few likes on any social media or art platform.
This made me think harder…
If there is nothing new under the sun, what will attract eyeballs then?!
What should I draw so that I can both live up to my dream and also sustain my livelihood?!
That’s when I decided to draw myself…
My true self
My naked self
And with NO boundary at all!
This new attempt were both exciting and scary to me
because it’s a path I’ve never travelled and also a bold approach
And being bold can be very controversial.
My art began to attract attention amidst all kinds of praise and criticism
I received an interview from local media. Just when I got another invitation from foreign media, Covid-19 broke out in December 2019. Whatever was being planned had to be put to a halt!
I, including people all over the world, was forced to adapt to a lifestyle named "new normal"!
During the lockdown, the only place that’s safe and freed to travel is the "Internet".
I spent most of 2020 drawing and knocking on every door to seek opportunity… art galleries, publications, competitions etc..
However, what I received was nothing but rejections… No one is willing to take in my work!
When the world greeted 2021 without any celebration, I entered the New Year with much self-doubt.
Not only that, this was also the 1st Lunar Chinese New Year that I did not buy any new clothes for myself
because my cash flow was very tight!
I had lost count of how many times that I’ve thought of giving up
But after which I always manage to pull myself together and move forward!
I kept on painting…
With all the accumulative skills, experience and artwork
I began to consolidate my portfolio
In June this year, I finally saw my hard work starting to pay off.
• I won the “Top 80 paintings award” in the “2021 Spring Malaysia International Online Juried Art Competition” under the “face and figure” category.
• I have participated in a Group Exhibition held by Boomer Gallery in London (June 2021)
• 2 of my paintings were being accepted into the “Best of Erotic Art Book” under the publication of “Erotic Art London” (EAL). Out of which, the same painting shall also be exhibited in the SEATTLE Erotic Art Festival in October 2021
• I am among the 1st round selected candidates for COCA, Center Of Contemporary Artists 2021 Project in Rome (2nd round selection result is yet to be determined)
• Three of my work will be exhibited in CON-TEMPORARY Art Observatorium in Italy in autumn.
However, just when I started to feel “hopeful”, the pandemic in Malaysia had totally lost control due to the long-standing political entanglement between the multiple fighting parties.
What was really shocking was, for the first time in my life, I saw Malaysians hoisting white flags as a result of starvation (namely the white flag campaign).
This truly broke my heart, because Malaysia has always been a beautiful, peaceful and resource-rich country.
This should not happen, BUT it has literally happened
And what was more devastating was that many people were losing hope and decided to commit suicide…
So, this is the story and inspiration behind my painting!
Apparently, there are so many people in this world who are living in dire straits, and some of them are on the verge of dying….
As for me, after being jobless for 2 years,
There’s really nothing much left for me.
Frankly speaking, in order to pay for my art competition and exhibition fees,
I have to sell off my valuable items (which include my wedding ring) in order to cash out…
Is having a dream bound to succeed?
The answer is I don’t know
I only know the only way forward in life is to keep persevering…
Hence, I’m dedicating this painting to everyone in the world who has dreams, but is struggling hard in actual life.
Let’s us not become weary in our pursuit and never give up!

Para mí, el arte no tiene límites. ¡No tiene límite para quien quiera crear y expresar! ¡El arte es un canal para que todos cuenten una historia y la experimenten libremente!
Soy un artista profesional en el dibujo de retratos, ¡especialmente en autorretratos!
Creo que la mujer es una creación de Dios y la naturaleza. La existencia de la mujer ha hecho que el mundo sea colorido y maravilloso. Por lo tanto, la pintura de una mujer desnuda no debe ser tratada como vergonzosa moral o éticamente.
I-Ching define el mundo en Ying y Yang, donde Yang representa al Hombre y Ying representa a la Mujer. Simultáneamente, Yang representa el Cielo y Ying representa la Tierra. Estas son las dos fuerzas que se complementan en nuestro Universo.
A través de mis pinturas, quiero mostrarle al mundo lo poderosa y hermosa que puede ser una mujer (la fuerza de Ying). Una vez, la mujer puede aceptar y abrazar totalmente su propia identidad, cuerpo y sexualidad para lograr la libertad de vida y, en última instancia, alcanzar la perfección en la vida.
Entonces, aquí estoy, usando mi autorretrato como medio para resaltar las hermosas historias de ser mujer.
Empecé a dibujar desde los 6 años. En parte porque el dibujo es mi talento natural, mientras que la otra parte se debe a la soledad. Nací en una familia pequeña y mi edad con mi único hermano estaban separados por años. Sin embargo, mi padre era maestro, nuestra casa estaba llena de todo tipo de libros, incluidos libros de cuentos bellamente ilustrados.
Entonces, ¡esto de alguna manera ha alimentado mi interés por el dibujo, así como mi pasión por el arte! ¡Logré obtener un Diploma en Publicidad y Diseño Gráfico después de completar mi educación secundaria! Después de graduarme, tuve la suerte de tener mi primera exposición de arte junto con otros 12 artistas famosos localmente y ¡vendí la mayoría de mis pinturas! Así fue como comencé mi experiencia y viaje en el arte.
Cuando estaba a punto de convertirme en artista a tiempo completo, me enamoré, me casé y ¡puse fin a mi sueño! De hecho, casi dejé de pintar después de eso.
Sin embargo, ¡la experiencia "amorosa" de mi relación íntima con mi esposo mejoró aún más mi experiencia "artística"! Tengo la bendición de tener a mi esposo, quien no solo es mi ALMA y compañero SEXUAL, sino también mi GURU de vida. De hecho, me ha dado una totalidad de AMOR incondicional.
Ese amor incondicional de mi esposo no solo me ha allanado el camino hacia la "autorrealización", sino que también me ha transformado de una mente conservadora a una artista de vanguardia.
Esta es la inspiración detrás de por qué uso mi propio cuerpo como medio para presentar mi arte y pintarme.
"LOVE" es tan inspirador y enriquecedor como lo hace el ART para un alma. Cuando eres amado incondicional y desinteresadamente, eres capaz de vivir tu vida al máximo. No solo eso, estás empoderado con amor y energía positiva - TU, vuélvete SIN MIEDO. Yo diría que AMOR + ARTE ME HA COMPLETO + DESATÉNAME y me ha hecho QUIEN SOY
