Hello, This is Ling from Hong Kong. I love drawing very much when I was little. I graduated from design institution as well.

When I was three, my eyes had an operation for esotropia problem. However, my eyes cannot work perfectly after that. I have the difficulties on true depth perception. It affects my sketching skill naturally. The proportion on drawing is less accurate. I was frustrated and lack of confidence in my adolescence.

One day, my art teacher taught me a new drawing method, “Continuous line drawing”. It’s about developing a picture with single unbroken line. It’s a good practice to train up the hand-eye coordination and observation skill. This method made me understand aesthetics with alternative perceptive. I was learning to draw the picture with spirit alike, rather than the accuracy.

Now, I appreciate my unique artworks because of my special eyes. I treasure my eyes which bring me to see the world in different perspective,

I believe that Art can heal people. It helps me to be a confident and mature person. I wish my artworks can give people some inspirations through my life experience and perspective. On the other hand, people can gain the little happiness in their daily life as well. Life can be “Fruity” by choice.

大家好，我是來自香港的藝術家，Ling Ng. 我自小喜歡繪畫, 並畢業於設計學院。

三歲時，我曾接受內斜視手術，可是手術未能完全改善視力問題，並影響我判別距離的能力。 因此，小時後的我對繪畫素描失去信心。

幸好，長大後， 老師教授我以「一筆畫」 的手法作練習， 以致我對美學有所改觀。我學習繪出「神似而非形似」 的圖畫。

現在，我懂得欣賞自己的作品。 我視自己的缺憾，卻成為我的過人之處。我有一雙與別不同的眼睛， 也能看到不一樣的世界。

藝術對我來說， 是有一份醫治的能力。 我希望我的作品能帶給公眾有另一個角度去看世界，並能發現生活中的「小確幸」。

Better Me《「美」的回應系列  》

The creative process:

Observe and be aware of others, then try to understand them wholeheartedly. As I review my state, thoughts and preferences, I use my sense of beauty as a way to reply to the world.

The definition of beauty:
– Pretty and meaningful
– Plan to define how beauty can be presented before starting a task
– Beauty is felt once the sense are reactivated

The artwork’s background:

As luck would have it, I was met by an artist teacher. His colour use is daring and vibrant, his skill is magnificent, his line work is detailed and his image creations are energetic. For this reason, I took a few pastel art classes with the teacher. I learnt the teacher’s use of colours and ways of creating brushstrokes, whilst he shared his creating process with me.

Through the learning process, I found my own sense of colour. I observe and be aware of others, then try to understand them wholeheartedly. As I review my state, thoughts and preferences, I use my sense of beauty as a way to reply to the world.

「美亅的意思：

美麗及有意義的
做每件事之先，想想如何呈現「美」
要先恢復感觀，才能感受美

一次偶然機會讓我認識了一位藝術家。他用色豐富且創新、技法一流、線條感重、構圖充滿活力。因此，我向這位老師學習了數堂乾粉彩班。我學習老師的用色和筆觸， 細聽老師創作的心得。從過程中，我領略到了自己的色感。

觀察和感受他人，嘗試透過內心感受去了解他人，再回看自己的狀態，想法和喜好， 把自己的新舊學習重組，再交織起來，並以「美」去呈現。
