Studio

Art is not a side hobby. It is the method.

Painting, exhibitions, and writing are part of how I see structure — composition, proportion, and the tension a system has not yet named.

Painting

Selected oil works.

  • As Is
  • By the Fountain
  • Goddess
  • Three Graces
  • Reverence
  • Stranger
  • Open-Minded
  • Unconsciousness

Bodies of work

Concepts.

Two ongoing concept series shaping the studio's direction.

  • Bodies — figure, form, and presence.
  • Childhood memories — image as recovered structure.

Exhibitions

Shown as an artist, not a hobbyist.

Work shown publicly, including during the Cambridge period — painting and collage presented in a contemporary-art context.

Modern art exhibitions

Presented paintings and collages as an artist in several contemporary-art exhibitions.

Exhibition, Cambridge, UK

Work exhibited during the Cambridge period, alongside the MBA and international study.

Art education

British Higher School of Art and Design.

Postgraduate Diploma, Foundations of Fine Arts (2019–2020) — visualising ideas, drawing, painting, contemporary techniques, design thinking, and studio and workshop practice.

Also trained in Marketing & Brand Management at the same school.

Writing

Poetry and prose.

Original poetry alongside prose and personal essays — writing as another way of holding structure.

Writing Chinese characters while learning Mandarin is, for me, another form of art.

Outside the studio, The Lord of the Rings is my home universe.

Brand & design

Brandbook — developer platform.

Designed a brand system for a large bank's microservices frontend/backend developer platform during its transformation (c. 2017–2018) — visual language, identity, and guidelines.

Why it belongs here

The same eye, applied to a product.

Brand and design work draws on the same instinct as painting: composition, proportion, and a coherent system — here pointed at how a technical platform presents itself to its users.

Where it points

The eye trained here now reads production systems and AI risk — that side of the practice lives in Advisory.
