Artist's biography

full picture

Man make man human and inhuman. My work expresses the inevitable destruction humanity shall face when we are not able to live up to our responsibilities: as an individual, a local community, a nation and as global community.

“The looks” depicts the moral of man in the diversity, harmony and unity of art form.
It employs diverse techniques. The beautiful woman symbolises materialism and greed. “The Looks” also portrays a father in emptiness and a child in aimlessness. In this new millennium of sophisticated technology, the moral decay is represented by fusion of vicious elements by which men prey on men. The motives in “The Looks” represent the diversity of senses behind each look. We are therefore urged to be cautious of anybody as their looks are just masks concealing their true selves. Man make man human and inhuman. My work expresses the inevitable destruction humanity shall face when we are not able to live up to our responsibilities: as an individual, a local community, a nation and as global community.
