Shifting Perspectives, Illuminate Imaginations

I am a firm believer in disrupting the conventional norms and perceptions.  My approach revolves around fostering innovation and embracing unconventional methods.  I challenge the status quo through the creation of captivating, intricate visuals that mesmerises the observer.

Rather than merely reflecting reality, my creations serve as catalysts for imagination, offering a realm where boundaries blur and perceptions shift.  Employing a blend of fine art digital photography, painting, and design principles, I navigate through a dynamic interplay between reality and illusion.  Each artwork or series intricately weaves together elements of complexity and whimsy, utilizing vividly realistic imagery.

My artistic journey liberates me from traditional constraints, enabling me to boldly reimagine alternative realities beyond the confines of the ordinary.

Bio/CV

Born in Singapore in 1970.  Graduated from Singapore Polytechnic with a Diploma in Electronics Engineering in 1990.  A self-taught professional photographer since 2007.

In 2015, I discovered a fascinating method/technique of combining photographic techniques with painting and design concepts.  I immersed into this newfound concept and started creating artworks and then presenting them in giclee prints on very high quality museum grade archival paper with state-of-the-art printing and ink technolgoies.  They come in limited editions with very low edition counts for exclusivity.  Each artwork represents a special effort in their creation and I hope they can become special and enduring for others to enjoy.

I am also a member of Society Of Chinese Artists (SOCA), Singapore.  I am only one of a few (if not the only) photography/digital based artist to be admitted as a lifetime member of the organisation.  The society's artist roster are filled with art luminaries of Singapore.
