About Me

I was born on the brink of life and death a 3-months premature little creature in the old capital of Germany to a complex and philosophically rebellious pair of parents who hailed from opposite ends of the world - Britain and Vietnam.

As an amalgamation of various cultures, novel life experiences and progressive world views inherited from my mother, I grew up with a great many introspective thoughts and feelings about myself, the world, and my strange little place in it. The dreamer archetype as famously alluded to in John Lennon's Imagine is one that I often related to as a dreamy and sensitive child.

These inclinations have inspired in me a lifelong search for the answers to the existential crises that I felt on a personal as well as a global level: crises regarding social issues and inequalities; the feelings, intellect, and sufferings of animals; the destruction as well as potential for healing of our earth; the true ontological nature of the universe, consciousness, and meaning; the fascinatingly complex vagaries of human relations, and everything else to do with our grander search for truth as a very confused, conflicted, and marvellously vulnerable human species.

In school, I expressed these feelings of subtle wrongness in the world through the medium of digital art, creating politically and conceptually charged illustrations, beginning with LGBTQ rights through to a fascination with dystopian motifs.

More recently, however, I am delving more deeply into creating visual art that is rather concerned with the purity and humility of beauty and truth, as well as reading and writing poetry and essays concerning spirituality, philosophy, and the evolution of humankind.

If I had to put my raison d’être into words, I believe it must have something to do with a certain sensitivity of the soul. Whether this is expressed in fine arts, piano, poetry, philosophy, or the fight for animal liberation… my hope is that I can add a drop of depth and beauty to the ocean of human consciousness in all that I do and create.

For I know we sometimes dare not imagine just how beautiful life on Earth could be… but, after all, the candle of hope thereof - no matter how small - has proven to be enough in lighting all the dark and winding paths of our spirited human history.
