“I want viewers to appreciate the paintings initially through the activity of looking, without interpretation. Stand afar and squint your eyes, get a feel of the picture through its colours and composition, enjoy the poetic movement of the crowds, then gradually become drawn to the details of the figures. Painting is just like composing a piece of music; with notations hanging across the lines creating enchanting melodies. Some figures walk aimlessly on their own, some stand in deep thoughts, others are dragged along in the flow; some take a break to ponder, some are waiting for their long lost friends, whilst others are sharing a moment with their long found love…There are so many details you could look at them forever and never quite see everything. With your eyes slowly following the diminishing perspectives, suddenly comes the smell of oil paint… before you realize, your nose will be touching the canvas!”
