 “The fluidity of the lake water mirrors the timeless flow of existence, gracefully intertwining with the rhythms and ever-evolving changes of life. I also incorporate interior elements that harmonise with the landscape, deepening the narrative of interconnectedness and the passage of time.”

Kwong Man Chun

Drawing inspiration from his recent journey to Japan, Kwong combines elements such as unique stone paths, vibrant cherry trees, and the tranquil mysteries of Japanese gardens, infusing his artwork with their essence. He also captures the serenity and harmonious beauty inherent in these distant landscapes, presenting them to viewers in all their captivating glory. Leveraging his knowledge of years of painting, he employs the blank canvas as a channel to refine his thoughts, liberating it from the constraints of trivialities. The soft day light evokes emotions of warmth, comfort, nostalgia, and intimacy, crafting a soothing ambiance that recalls treasured memories and peaceful instances.
