“I am a portrait artist based in New York City. I was born in Macau and received my Ph.D in Fiane Art and lectured at K.S. University in Japan. I moved to NYC in 2008, where I began studying portraiture at National Academy School of Fine Arts and The Art Students League of New York. From 2009 to 2013, I rigorously explored human anatomy in graphite charcoal and pastel.
Painting portraits is my passion. I started focusing on male figure when I moved to New York. The gay culture in NYC inspires me to work with men. My work focuses on male figures with old masters and traditional Japanese painting techniques. every portrait I paint provides me with the opportunity to create a work of art that exhibits both beauty and timelessness. I devote much time to the study of artistic techniques and expressive capabilities. I carefully study old master portrait portrait paintings on view in NYC. I meticulously examine these masterpieces, always evaluating how I can best incorporate my observations into my own work. My goal is to inspire those who see my work to look more carefully at the world around them and to discover beauty in daily life and culture.”
