The structure of the portraits tends to be too simple, therefore we need to express the presence or a feeling of vitality more carefully. I aim to portray the energy of life that comes from the objects by thoroughly thinking out the “pose” or adding an subject such as a “bird” depending on the situation. Moreover, I pursue the dynamism as an art form, making use of fluidity and an extemporaneous characteristic of watercolor paintings.
這幅肖像畫在結構上走極簡風，因此需要更巧妙地表達其存在感或活力感。我企圖描繪透過物件傳達出來的生命力，仔細思量其「姿態」或視情況加個「鳥」的物件。
此外，我追求的是將活力作為藝術形式，善用水彩顏料之流動性與隨興所至的特性來創作。

Generally speaking, watercolor paintings are considered a light expression comparing to oil paintings or other art forms. However, like “Alla-Prima” one of the oil painting techniques, I believe that watercolor painting is able to give striking expressions by applying thicker paints.
一般認為相較於油畫，水彩畫是種比較輕快的藝術形式。然而，利用油畫中的「濕中濕」技法，我深信水彩畫也能藉由較厚重的顏料來傳達出更深刻的印象。
