I haven’t done one of these in a while, hm?

This one was completed through (started during, no pauses, and not touched afterwards) a mass service streamed from Hong Kong on 13 March 2022 at 9:30 am (UTC/GMT +8), for the Second Sunday of Lent, from the parish of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, which can be found here or also on YouTube here. My thanks to the people who make this possible.

If anyone knows of masses being streamed from Ukraine or by Ukrainian refugees, can you please use my contacts page to reach out to me? I don’t need it to be in English, but I can’t seem to find one even when I search in Ukrainian. Thank you.

Artist Statement

My art has always acted as a microphone for my thoughts and observations; through it, I make my voice heard. Through wide-ranging media, such as charcoal portraiture, 2-D and 3-D animation, and oil painting, I create statements on equally widespread themes, from the nobilities of simple living to issues of global concern.

Whenever possible, I use my computer science background to integrate elements of programming and the digital world into my art, making for a very unique portfolio!

Media

I choose media carefully to best complement this process. Charcoals and graphite are used to capture the most fleeting subject material, using quick, sparing strokes to reflect bodies in motion and draw out the evanescence of the image as a whole. For the opposite effect, I often elect to use paints (usually oils) to create a work with multiple depths. Glazes layered carefully on thicker mixes of paint are used to capture the nuances of the personalities I choose to convey. I always try to adapt my knowledge of computer science to my art, mixing traditional art with digital and combining seemingly opposing media.
