Swimming Coach and Academic Hegemony of CUHK Fine Arts

About

I cherish the leisure of fine arts, whereas I put an equal emphasis on history studies, cultural awareness, scholastic cultivation and bilingual proficiency. I regard "righteousness" and "conscientious awareness" as the two important notions for me to create renowned paintings and leave curators with a remarkable impression. Fundamentally, I received Design education during the first stage of my college era and was trained to be sensitive with copywriting layouts. I passed the Aptitude Test of Poly U Design during the JUPAS of 2006. This proves that I manage the general principles and elements for how to behave like a designer. Driven by coincidence, I got in touch with the fine-art scene and was anticipated by the academia to enhance my reputation as a "fine artist" celebrity both in exhibition level and in social-media platform. I dealt with art administration instead of working as a graphic designer, and sometimes published art criticisms for a connection with the collection market. My past research devotions on Chinese art histories even covered the personnel level of Mainland art scene, no matter in bureaucracy or in museum levels. In 2016, I established a personal painting studio. Despite of my aesthetic-oriented thoughts, I still project my "DESIGNER ESSENCE" onto my fine-art pursuit, especially for my keen emphasis on marketing effects and meritocracy in the enrichment of my fine-art resume. My ideal is to become an educator. Teaching at universities, secondary schools, international schools, community colleges or private education centres are also attractive to me. I can teach most of the Arts-Stream subjects, including Art, Art History, History, Chinese History, Liberal Studies, English Language, Chinese Language, Integrated Humanities, Religious Studies, Putonghua and EPA. For sure, workplaces that allow me to fully devote to art creations are greatly cherished, such as art-jamming studio or publishing firm. Specialties: Painting, Art Criticism
