Professional Summary
"What one must paint is the image of resemblance—if thought is to become visible in the world"
- Said by Rene Magritte, Visual arts conceived by individuals' emotion and thoughts, teaching Art is
meeting each student’s unique needs by developing a personal understanding of each one of them. I
consider myself as an artist teaching artist, indeed “every child is an artist. The problem is how to
remain an artist once we grow up” said by Pablo Picasso. I encourage my students to develop strong
formalistic and aesthetic understanding as a basis for expressing their own personal vision. Over the
past Six years, I have had the wonderful opportunity to instruct a diverse group of Primary, Middle,
Senior School students, and I have been participating various biennales, video festival, art residency
program as a result, I have been developing my contemplate art practices as well as 21st century visual
arts pedagogy, which have allowed me to educate contemporary art style and engaging learning
environment that effectively teaches art appreciation, critical investigation to promotes creativity and
encourages growing independence.
