Admittedly, languages are incapable of describing the most essential and intimate emotions of human beings. Everything is so obscure yet vivid at the same time when you’re looking inwards. We are unable to precisely understand how our subconsciousness is influenced by daily experiences, however, by making art, they could possibly be clarified and reinterpreted in one way or another.

The artist’s remarks on emotion and experience have provided an abundant inspiration to this particular research. Grounded on very personal experiences, her artworks are the breed of impression she encountered in daily life after the internal deepening. The artist also got widely inspired by the notion of painterliness from abstract painting and sought to broaden its boundaries by carrying out experiments and taking risks. Aesthetic-wise, improvisational sketches and wandering graffiti played a prominent presence. The research also questioned and experimented with the existing factors in art histories such as shapes, semiotics, colour theories and media translations.

The thesis is divided into four chapters. The first chapter covers the primal inputs from the life experiences where all the intuitive engagements in the art-making were grounded, and how the artist got influenced by them. The following chapter dives into the vast wide art history retrospectively and makes connections and comparisons between the artist’s work and artworks from Abstract Expressionism. The third chapter examines the artist’s manoeuvre on form, technique and material of her own artworks. The last chapter provides a catalogue of all the artworks mentioned in the thesis.
