About Me


I want to have a free life. I wish all mankind can be free and easy and peaceful; since I dont have the power to change the world because Im only ONE INDIVIDUAL. I would like to spread out the freedom message and thinking to others by my paintings. Therefore, I create no limit canvas; it is weird abstract shape canvas with no traditional squared boundary and rules. Basically, it is paintings to free the minds/depression/lost. In this modern era, everything is so modern yet people are suffering from depression a lot. I myself have suffered from depression since when I was a kid. I suffer more than most other kids; I have different stages that went up and down from wealth to poor, from pride to lost. I cannot find myself any more in my own little world. Thus, I had only way to go, turn to my art world. I like to paint by hand because it is the direct touch from my hand and from my mind. It is faster for me to work and who ever saw the artworks will feel my finger markers. My finger prints are most unique because no one has the same ones, so each paintings would be symbolized my own unique individuality. Different paintings represent different mood and phase. It is not predictable because it is I dont know when my mood will change, I dont know if the next minute I will be happy or sad. I can be happy and produce a sunny painting in one day, the next day, I would be totally depress and produce a miserable painting. The first series of framestract (series name here) is done in less than a week, all different paintings is made under different mood. When I was influence by inspiration, I will work very fast it is like at the end of the day, others try to write down what they feel on their diary. My painting is my secret diary but Im showing it to everybody. I wanted everyone to know how I feel and how I struggle and I hope whoever has the same issue will feel comfort and relief after they saw my painting. When Im ready to work, I cannot be disturbed or else my mind will flow somewhere else. My mind has to stick on where my mood stays, either happy, sad, depress, or doubt. Many phrases in my life that I feel that I want to give up and I cant because I know if I give up at that moment, I will not achieve anything any more in my life ever. Rather spending the time on giving up or depress all day or complain about it, I have to stand up, wipe off my tears and think a best solution to move on. Times like that is very struggle and painful, I have no one to talk to, neither to my friends nor my family because most of the time, they were my problems. They had their own problems too so there is no one who can help me but myself. Many things in this world are not fair, even though it is a 21st century with freedoms around everywhere; many things is just keep under secret or unfair. Sometimes on the road, people with nice cars would come push behind me or make me not able to drive because their car is better than mine. Sometimes when I dress up like artist style all messy and cool, I went into the mall, and sales would not greet me but to greet others who dress better than me. I could not do anything about it, because if others think material is more important, I cant change their mind. I just hope one day when people sees my painting and it would bring out the inner peaceful and most courtesy feeling and to make the world a better place. It is best that everyone is treated equal and free, it is all better when people come out from depression and leave the pain behind. I try to achieve that goal and I hope when I do, I would be able to help others. And this is why I paint, and will be painting after.

My Interests


2004 Sky Candy Series, acrylic painting, I did a series of painting called Sky Candy and Sky Round. when I started to do painting, I usually work on 2-3 canvas at a time, I rotated them and worked on top of the front of my car because I don't have a workstation. I painted these on flat surface cuz it's easier for me to work. I would do one and then while waiting for it to dry I work on another one. I didn't use paint brush for this series. these are called Sky Candy series because it looks so delicious just like candy, to see more of this series, just go to my website

have a passion for art, music and fashion. I was born in Taipei, Taiwan in 1976. My Chinese name is Hsinying Chou, H is pronounced silent and my first name is pronounced "singing". started to draw when I can first hold a pencil. I like to eat sashimi, ice cream, watermelon seeds, I like drinking coke w/ a lot of ice, light ice tea, starbucks/coffee bean non coffee drinks, Chinese slushes and snow bubble w/ boba; I liked everything with blueberry, grape, mango and orange taste. I loved going to the mall either window shopping or buy stuff on sale. I loved just driving around not having a destination. I love colorful, modern, cute and cool stuff and clothing. I love to paint colorful abstract paintings and to create funky cool accessory and jewelry. I am also interested in classic and funky music, fashion, poetry and cool cars. Since I was a child, I have been collecting postage stamps and now I collect stuff animals, cuttie little accessory and hand bags. I'm a fan of McDoNalds, Hello Kitty, Doraemon, Snoopy, San-X, TV show:"Angel", "Will and Grace", Japanese comic:"Hunter X Hunter", LV bag, Coach bag, Juicy Couture bag.

here I am at a street in Paris drinking coffee and enjoy the view.

here I am infront of the Louvre museum

this is one of the best spot to take picture of the Eiffel tower

Seine River Cruise ride in Paris, the night view in Paris is great but it's really cold and very hard to take picture
us human compare to Eiffel tower is so small

on top of Eiffel Tower, you can see different views of Paris, it took me about 12-15 mins to walk down about 250-300 stairs

inside the Louvre museum under the prymid

London Bridge night view

outside the Mozart Cafe

outside Europe night market at night

inside the museum, the paintings are really huge.

outside Paris' big giant LV store.

Music:

gothic/punk, artistic, soundtracks, music that deeply touches emotions

college work

one of my very exciting experiment, first I cut the canvas in different directions then i painted the different portion different color. this is the front view

this is the back view of the same painting, quite different compare to the front.
.. width="425" height="350" ..

Movies:

interview w/ the vampires(i love vampire movies, this is the first one i saw), four weddings and a funeral(very funny), birdcage(sooo funny), kill bill(i like the action, the music and the style), uptown girls

college project, 1996, acrylic and charcoal on paper, it's a series of 4, I named it heaven and hell series, starting from hell to heaven. I used black background for hell, and white background for heaven. sadly, I am missing the final piece. this one is heaven and hell series 1

heaven and hell series 2

heaven and hell series 3

Television:

angel, will and grace, south park, food network, travel channel, discovery, mtv

this one has multi layer, I enjoy to leave some space white on canvas, it gives it more nature look

this one has a lot of meaning to me, it's the last piece I did at my house which I miss so much before I moved out, it also has multi layer, the brush stroke is one of my strongest piece. the 1st layer was a relaxing one, I did the 2nd layer during the time the house is being show case to public buyers and while I was packing. the 3rd and the last layer is being done right before I moved out. the stroke just got more violence and angry because I didn't want to move but my family insist to sell the house. I dedicate this piece in memory of my dear wonderful house.

Books:

I went to Europe travel in October 2006, 11 countries and 21 cities. walked and took picture everywhere. I had over 8000 picture and I print out 300 digital prints. here's some highlights
Germany Heidelberg castle overviewing the whole city
Rhine River cruise in Germany
Switzerland Mt. Titlis on top of 10,000 feet, the feeling is amazing, it's all white lights everywhere, really hard to see
London - stayed at a hotel next to Tower of London, the night view is great
Austria Vienna Salzburg's old town, Mozart's birth place, I like the feeling just sit outdoor and drinking ice tea and watching people goes by,
Austria Innsbruck old town, I like the feeling of these little side street where no one notice, it has an very old town classic feeling
cruise ride in Switzerland's Lake Lucerne, very windy
lobby of one of the hotel I stayed, my favorite color is orange so I love this setting
London's land mark Big Ben
the main shopping street of Austria Vienna, loved the shopping experience and cool buildings, btw everywhere has McDonalds
inside the elevator of one of the hotel I stayed.

Heroes:


Italy Rome
Italy Venice, the Gondola ride is great, but it's a little bit dizzy riding on a boat, it feels great with the opera singer sitting right infront of me. very cool experience
Italy Venice waiting for the boat to arrive to go back to the land
Italy Pisa, I ran all the way to the ticket booth to get the earliest ticket to get on the Pisa tower, and after that I had to climb all the way up to the top of the tower, there's not rest stop in the middle, I was out of breath but it's a cool exerperience.
finally Im on top it's really cool and feel great achievement
enjoying my gelato in Italy
Europe street at night
Italy Florence, I study this in art history book back in College, can't believe Im actually there
the candy I brought in different countries rest stop, super market is more cheaper but I was too tired to go there.
I transform my room into a kiddie museum, I collect all the cutie kiddies and little acces. n put it on display, I hope to have a bigger room one day and collect more kiddies.
the glass shelf is from Ikea, the right one is Hello Kitty collection that I got from surprise bag, the left one is the other kiddies and cute acces.
my room is painted pastel lime green and I painted some wave kindda line on this wall.
my bed, I love to change different comforter cover, it's all from Ikea, some are from children's apt. the room has a really long rectangle shape and it brings me lots of sunshine in the morning, underneath the window, I brought some colorful wall hanger from Chinese herb store and I put the small handbag and kiddies on it.
this small wood shelf is customer made, before in my old house, I put phones and computer speaker, now in this room, I put little cuttie and candy on it.
90% of the furniture in my room are from IKEA, I open my closet because the door isn't like the regular sliding door, and it's easier to access.
my kiddies~~ from top left: snowy hello kitty, ducky, swimming, orange, ultra man, ginger & bun bun group pix, doraemon w/ san-x kiddies, piggy & pink hello kitty
more kiddies:louis the dog, little moose, kiddie chair, hello kitty twin, little doggie, cinnamon roll, and pink handbags
I brought stuff from different places, in LA there's a lot of Asian store and some I brought some other place I dont remember. Japanese snack, my 2006 white Christmas tree, and more acces.
I love Japanese cartoon and snacks. and I'm crazy about handbags. kiddies: lobster, bubble dragon, red sneaky, icy, orange meow, crabby, lucky doraemon, orange bear and Hawaii Spongebob.
my jewelry box
bottle shape chocolate with drinks inside, so cute, I don't want to eat it.
back in 2002 Spring time I visited Taiwan Taipei, my home town during Chinese new year time
unlike driving cars here, ppl in TW ride motorcycle
big giant advertisement everywhere, this is salon building with movie ads
I love this shop, full of Doraemon and other Japanese character toys, I wish I would buy the whole shop!!
cool ads for children's clothing store
when I was in the mall, I saw this all glass wall, which is so cool, so I took this shot with outside buildings
I love collecting ancient Chinese jewel like bracelet, necklace and rings. it's the color mix with mystery and sometimes I feel I'm the kind of person that still wants to live in the ancient times.
