Transquility

My art is a journey of returning to intuition, healing, and the sacred geometry within. Born in Hong Kong’s colonial era, I found refuge in coloring books where the boundaries paradoxically birthed an inner freedom. After years in the advertising industry, a profound connection with Italian mandala master Shanti Tozzi in 2012 shattered my perfectionism. From that moment, mandalas ceased to be merely an art form for me—they became rituals of self- reconciliation. As the compass etches its path across paper, emotions beyond words find poetic expression in sacred geometry. I work exclusively with watercolors—their translucency alone can capture the radiating light from our inner core. Each piece begins at the center to the outside in a form of circular movement. As I move outward, layer upon layer of aqueous color builds the light and shadows. Sometimes three, sometimes twelve transparent veils, until the outer edges deepen into rich shadows. This liquid medium mirrors my creative surrender. The blossoms and birds emerge not through planning, but through responsive dialogue—a crimson bleed suggests petals, an accidental gradient becomes wings. Or the circles crossover made a shape of looks like a bird, sometimes a lotus, a butterfly, or a weird shape that needs imagination. The unforgiving nature of watercolor demands absolute presence: every stroke is a permanent whisper, every layer a committed breath connected to the heart. In these geometric journeys, I find life's metaphor —we start from our center without losing ourselves, and through layered experiences, become both luminous and shadowed as beautiful and unique as who we are.
