Art Portfolio

Description:

Welcome to my art portfolio, a journey through self-image and the beauty of the induplicable. Each medium—silk painting, oil painting, sculpture, and monoprinting—captures a different layer of identity, exploring moments that make us unique and irreplaceable.

In silk painting, I express the fluid, shifting nature of memory and emotion. Oil painting brings depth and texture, grounding reflections of self in rich, tactile layers. Sculpture gives identity a physical form, while monoprinting captures spontaneity, marking each impression as one-of-a-kind. Together, these works tell a story of individuality—of what it means to be both distinct and deeply connected.

Medium: Traditional Silk Painting

Silk, with its delicate texture and luminous quality, serves as a powerful metaphor for my emotional journey. I’m drawn to the soothing process of painting and washing the silk canvas, where each layer of dye reflects my self-discovery. Just as silk absorbs color, it captures my emotions, transforming them into a visual narrative that reveals the beauty in vulnerability - each brushstroke contributes to the intricate tapestry of life.

The Duality of Self

Medium: Sculpture

Sculpture offers a tangible exploration of self-image and perception. Its three-dimensional forms invite reflection, with each contour symbolizing the quest for identity balance. Through the physicality of the medium, I bridge the gap between perception and reality, discovering that every curve and line reveals a story of resilience and the intrinsic need for harmony within oneself.

This portrait of a girl symbolizes self-image and the intrinsic human desire for symmetry, reflecting the principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) by transforming perception into reality. The three-dimensional form invites viewers to engage physically, allowing them to hold and mold it with their hands, emphasizing the tangible connection between self-perception and one’s true self.

Timeless Connections

Medium: Mono Printing

Monoprinting is a unique printmaking technique where ink is applied to a smooth surface, such as glass or metal, and then transferred to paper, often using a press or hand pressure. This process captures textures, brushstrokes, and patterns that cannot be exactly replicated, making each print inimitable and truly one-of-a-kind.

One leaf, reimagined through three distinct prints—each a reflection of self-image, capturing the beauty in evolving perspectives. With every press, the leaf’s form reveals new textures, colors, and stories, mirroring the journey of self-expression. An unrepeatable reminder that, like us, nature holds endless ways to be seen.
