The artist Szuchi Huang majors in multimedia and cinematic, with years of working experience in filming, magazine publishing, and designing business. In the slough of despond, she retrieved a paintbrush to draw again, a long lost interest as well as an old pal in her childhood. Although she is not a fine arts major, she integrates components of various fields into her work, making herself a painting container. She is particularly specialized in containing a plot of stories in her painting as well as visualizing words. Such background and specialties are beyond a particular category, which turns to create more possibilities in her work.
Szuchi Huang has been a diehard for movies since her young age, making movies a far reaching impact on her work, so her work always bears a manner of filming and photography. She is also a traveling fanatic, so she usually takes on her work on a journey. She likes traveling in a casual way, by simply rambling, looking around in a city, and writing down inner feelings in some coffee shop. With a pair of reminiscent eyes, she glances through an ephemeral skyline of the city, lukewarmly and indolently somehow, but conspicuously and ingeniously actually. This is an ideal way for her to go on a journey.
Since she started drawing in 2010, she has already held joint and solo exhibitions for several times.
Self-introduction to the art work
In these past few years, during the time of human isolation, my life has experienced too much loss. My mother passed away suddenly, and the stray cat, Little Cutie, who accompanied me through the mourning period, also became an angel. I even lost my career. The numerous losses have left me feeling sad, lonely, and helpless. I couldn't find the passion and motivation for creating, and I seemed to have lost touch with my original aspirations.
It was at this moment that I started collecting leaves from the streets. Eventually, I gathered a Bodhi leaf, observing its shape and texture. Suddenly, I felt a sense of calm and a renewed creative drive. The inspiration from the Bodhi leaf, an important symbol in Buddhism, resonated with me. A fallen leaf, lost and then picked up, became a symbol of starting anew.
Through the process of creating, I rediscovered my purpose. This little Bodhi treasure brought me back to my original intentions. Each leaf represents a piece of my inner world, containing both pain and the promise of peace and rebirth.
