About me

 I am an artist from Taiwan, and the lion is a unique element of my artwork. The cognition of courage includes acknowledging the existence of fear. The contrast actually reveals the hidden of the truth, that is, courage must be based on accepting and facing fear. Once the moment the fear is no longer there, courage emerges, and the lion is the most authentic self.

 

People often ask me:
“Why black?”
“Why lions?”
 
To paint only in black — to live within its singular depth —
is both a profound challenge and a burning passion.
Black demands honesty; it reveals without distraction.
Through it, emotion and spirit rise, unguarded and pure.
 
I coexist with black because within it,
I can dive faster and deeper into the painting — into emotion itself.
The very act of limitation opens new senses:
when color falls silent, feeling begins to speak.
Black, in its quiet vastness, exposes truth —
for humans are too easily deceived by the glitter of appearances.
 
My use of black was born naturally from my own need to express —
not from influence, but from instinct.
Only later did I discover Pierre Soulages’ Outrenoir,
and found that his concept resonated with my own inner language.
We walk on different paths, yet share the same vibration —
that black is not the absence of light,
but the space where light and emotion are reborn.
 
The lions I paint are born from this darkness.
They are not rulers, but guardians of light —
protecting the wounded, the fearful, and the forgotten.
Through their gaze, I speak of courage and rebirth.
Through their presence, I rediscover the grace of healing.
 
In Outrenoir, I find not influence, but reflection —
a mirror that echoes my own journey through the night,
learning to love again through the gentleness of black.
