Everything in the world is in motion, all the time. Even things that look perfectly still are packed with atoms that are vibrating with energy. Understanding how motion works was one of the great milestones of science. The basic idea taught us is that motion is caused by forces. But forces don’t always make things move. Also, the “motion” forces produce is sometimes a shift in the direction in which something is moving or a change in its shape. So, what exactly are forces and how they produce these different kinds of motion? How about human? Factoring on their egos, habits and characters? In subconscious mind, they move around in a form of tangibles or intangibles. In the process creating variations of movements in variation of spectrums.

I started my evening watercolor class in NAFA in Aug, 2018 with Janice Chin. Studied there for a year while I practiced at home. I ever took an in-person workshop with Direk Kingnok (Thailand) for 2 days in 2019. Then COVID came and I had a chance to learn online from Amit Kapoor ( India), Andy Evansen (USA), Nina Volt (Australia) and Michael Solovyev (Canada) and I’m with them until now online. I plan myself as learning year for 2023 and no much art creation is done in 2023. I also subscribe to watercolor magazines and read lots of books and view YouTube videos too. In summary, my experience is about 5 years now (July, 2023). WAY BACK HOME – It’s a scenery of a village in Myanmar .
