For me, painting the human figure is the most motivating at the moment. I can paint all kinds of animals such as dogs, cats, and even flowers, but the human figure is more difficult for the viewer to judge than those creatures. Animals and flowers make people think they are beautiful and cute, but when they see a painting of a human figure, they have a more challenging t.mes because the motif is a human being. It is what motivates and inspires me to paint human beings.

現時最能給我動力的是人像。我可以畫各式各樣的動物,包括狗、貓,甚至花,但人像比剛才那些主題更難論斷。觀者會覺得動物與花朵漂亮和可愛,但當觀眾看到一幅人像畫,因為對象是一個真人,所以他們會覺得難以判斷。這就是我繪畫人像的動力和啟發 。
