Chinese Brush Strokes

Chinese Brush Painting - an ancient art - is a fascinating form to capture the essence of a subject, but not to paint an exact replica of it.
Symbolism and philosophy play significant role in Chinese paintings.

Painting with wool

Painting with wool technique uses wool fiber instead paint to imitate traditional painting and drawing. Using wool as a medium for 'painting' an image involves a blending of fibres, sculpting of the wool and felting with needle to create a picture. The picture is built up, similar in many ways to using paint. With this technique - pieces are bursting with texture and depth

Mozaic

From diversity in colours, shapes and sizes like in spring or summer garden full of flowers, which bloom, trivet and prosper together, support and complement each other a piece of art has been created. It symbolize how thousands of pieces so diversified can be joined together to represent integrity, inclusiveness and togetherness. Squares, triangles and other quadrilaterals, slim or thick, big or small with sharp or smooth edges and all kinds of different colours can coexist and cohabitation can be tranquil. Sometimes small adjustments are required to fit piece to whole composition, but when is done, shape and colours are complementing each other and are adding sparkling light to the piece. By creating this mosaic I expressed my emotions about belongings to cultural and social society. Mosaic is composed of a combination of diverse elements and I am one small piece in this mosaic.
