I'm honoured to be part of the inaugural Flower of Crystal Art (FCA) international group exhibition, "Enchanting Blooms", organised by Sarana Arts. I'm thrilled to represent Heart In Hand Atelier, our Singapore FCA Premium Partner School, at this inaugural exhibition.
"Enchanting Blooms," was held from June 2-9, 2024, at Papan Haus in Malaysia.
A Glimpse into My Submissions
The exhibition featured four pieces that reflected my artistic journey and personal growth:
Inner Light Takes Flight: Inspired by the Sagrada Familia, this piece explores the power of aspirations and the courage to embrace our inner light.
Golden Midnight Manekineko: A playful and vibrant piece inspired by my recent trip to Spain.
Daffodil's Embrace: A celebration of self-acceptance, inspired by the symbolism of the suisen flower in Japanese culture.
Duality of Light: A faux stained-glass lantern that reminds us to embrace our own radiance.
A Serendipitous Encounter
FCA entered my life at a pivotal moment. It provided a creative outlet, a path to self-discovery, and a way to reconnect with my love for Japan. As a translator and interpreter during the COVID-19 period, I was able to use my language skills to bridge the gap between the Japanese and English/Mandarin speaking pastel art instructors.
Beyond FCA: A New Artistic Horizon
While I'm deeply grateful for everything FCA has given me, I recognize it's time to venture into new artistic territories. I'm excited to explore my own unique style and continue to evolve as an artist.
However, I remain committed to teaching FCA as part of my mission to impart the transformative power of art. There's so much we can learn about life through art, and my lessons are always peppered with anecdotes and heavily dosed with self-compassion, self-love, and self-acceptance.
I'm also exploring a new artistic style: painting colorful mantras. This form of visual meditation aims to awaken self-love in everyone. I believe that by combining art and positive affirmations, we can create a powerful tool for personal transformation.
