Having been brought up in a creative family, ironically, Don had initially devoted himself to Mathematics and Science during his secondary education. However, he fortunately did realize his true interests and eventually turned to his calling – Art – and he embarked on his journey into the visual arts in his father’s studio. He initially started with oil painting and sketching, which provided him a solid foundation of drawing techniques for his further academic visual art practice in Nanyang Academy of Fine Art. Meanwhile, Don was labeled as an idealistic thinker, which is his true nature, and that point has always effected his artistic creativity as he strongly believes that art is the ultimate idealism and is an approach by which innovative ideas as well as revolutionary philosophy spreads so as to impact and alter individuals’ lives and overall society. In addition, Don is fond of music and has always been exploring both music and the visual arts in a bid to articulate and extend his personal creative style.
出生于艺术家庭的Don,很讽刺,竟在他最初的初中以及高中学习中选择了理科。然而很庆幸的是,他最终发觉到了他自己真正的兴趣以及目标——艺术创作。因此,他开始在他父亲的艺术工作室里,进行了他最初的绘画练习,这也对他之后在南洋艺术学院的学术进修提供了奠基。同时,Don在别人眼里总是被视作“理想的梦想家”,这也的确是他的天性,而且这点也对他的艺术创作有着深远的影响,因为他始终坚信艺术本身就是一种对理想憧憬的表现形式,也是一条传播先进思想与革新性哲学理论的的纽带。他认为,艺术的熏陶不仅能改变个人的思想体系,从宏观的角度来讲它甚至还可以影响到整个社会体系以及民族文化的转变。
除此之外,Don 一直都非常热爱音乐 也一直在探寻着音乐与视觉艺术的结合的这样的一种艺术形式来表现他自己独特新颖的创作风格。
