Affirmation – Breathe in Slowly. I will carry all your worries. We are stronger together.


Orchids have been cultivated for thousands of years. The name came from Greek word, ‘orkhis’, representing the male anatomy. Therefore, orchids have long been associated with fertility and virility. In the Victorian era, orchids were considered a symbol of luxury and wealth.


Cymbidium orchids became popular in Europe during the Victorian era. The fact that it can survive during cold temperatures is what makes the plant popular.
With the exotic appearance, orchids have long been associated with perfection and passion.


Cymbidium Orchid Flower also symbolizes Love, beauty and refinement.

-Bloom like flowers Series 2020 by HSIN LIN-
In this award- winning / signature series of mine, flowers as the object represent life itself to me.
Our own will to be alive, and the way we want to be alive.
While I carefully paint these tiny flower petals, or built up those fine leaves’ vines, it is like the way we try to figure out those uncertainty, furthermore, to be able to be closer to the truth a little bit more.
