王翁舟 Andrew Wang Art Gallery
Something about me:
I look at the world through the
eyes of an artist. Born in Taipei, Taiwan,
both the eastern and western influences come out in my artwork.
Since childhood, I have loved to draw and paint but did not follow my hearts'
desire
until I moved to Canada, studied New Media Production in Centennial College
and began working at my art in 1999.
I try to express my feelings and my heart in everything I create.
Two artists that I really respect are my art teacher Shih-Chiao Li,
who introduced me to the art world when I was eight years old
and Pablo
Picasso who created his art always from his heart.
I want my paintings to show my passion for life.
I try to explore the idea from an eastern point of view and western techniques
to create my own style of paintings.
Painting is one of the ways I express myself.
I like to sketch the images on my mind then through my hands,
I create them on the canvas, paper or mixed media.
The process of transforming an idea into a piece of art has struck me as
magical.
Creating art is an exercise of body and mind for me.
More precisely it is likely a form of meditation.
Therefore, I have many different styles of art, as my body and mind grow when I
explore the world.
