FREEZE THE MOMENT
Everybody was once a child. As people grow up in this fast paced world, they often forget the raw beauty of the world. Do you want to pause for a moment and take a look at something that is calm, elegant, and mind-relaxing? And if you view the world through a child’s eyes, you will see love and magic in the most ordinary things. You will find extraordinary miracles in the most ordinary places.
The series Freeze the Moment is painted with oil medium on canvas. In each painting, a child-like drawing is juxtaposed against a realistic and traditional floral still life setting. The floral still life setting depicts a grand and asymmetric arrangement of flowers in bloom. Whereas the child-like interpretation of the overall setting acts as a symbol of a child’s eyes. The juxtaposition of the child element within a traditional scene shows how children and adults see the same world differently.
I first select and assemble the blooming flowers in spontaneous and asymmetric arrangements. I exaggerate the light and dark contrast by lighting the bouquet against a darker background. or placing them under the sunlight. This brings out the marble-like luminous quality of the flowers. The flowers are rendered in high detail and in realistic form. An abstract child art or drawing of the overall floral setting is created and juxtaposed against this classical setting.
In today’s busy world, it is hard to spend enough time to enjoy life, to make life. People miss how to enjoy the simple beauty around them. Through my art, I hope to freeze the beautiful moment of flowers in bloom to let people slow down, enjoy life, and to re-discover the world again through the child’s eyes. You may even find the self that you may have lost.
