“Tears of Joy and Sadness in Colour” 2021

The work refers to our ability to cry from both sadness and happiness, as well as our experience with all emotions. The tear marks were inspired by a brush stroke from artist’s practice in Japanese caligraphy and treated as a visual response to the global pandemic. 

When viewing up close, viewers will notice multilayers of tears, some with sculptural 3d effect, almost coming out of the canvas. The tears of joy” are painted in bright colours, “sadness” with darker shades,  there is also a third layer underneath, reminding us of our “unconscious emotions”. Many tear drops have sculptural effect, as if coming out of the painting.

The painting merges contemporary abstraction with surrealism, trying to transcends the duality of life through colours, sculptural effects and contemporary composition.
