“Art is based on appreciation mindset with passion in creating any kind of the form in this universe”.

Do you remember the very first drawing you draw?

I still remember my very 1^st time of drawing a picture. It was in 1990, I was in preschool, I was a passive boy, but not when I’m in doing art, I started in love with art because of a main reason, I love to think a lot and I like things’ fantasy and weirdo, but according to my family financial last time, my parents can’t afford to buy toys or something I like which is very interesting and mostly were expensive.

Well, then, one day I wanna buy something but my parents just let me down. I feel so disappointed. I keep thinking, is there any other way for me to have what I want? Suddenly I’ve found that at least I can draw it out. At least I know with the picture I draw I can enjoy with my imagination.

The very 1^st time I draw is absolutely like mostly the children’s sketching and I know I can’t get to the imagination with the level like this. Then I start doing imitating and from time to time my art skill improving without my knowledge.

What is art for you?

I say art is based on appreciation mindset with passion in creating any kind of the form in this universe.

Can art bring any goodies to me except feeling satisfy or having a marvelous artwork? Sure! Because everything is part of art and if anything comes to you means that art already bring something to you.

People will usually think that art people will get suffer in life all of the time. My answer is, yes, and so do the other kind of job because the mindset is suffer. So, ignore what the surrounding bring the negative minded or act to you, keep concentrate, go for it, and anyone will found that art can be something as well~!

Many thanks, Nash, for a great interview!
