"I enjoyed my work in the advertising agency immensely. All along I was lucky to be given a reasonable free hand by the creative directors. I made fine art the focus of my graphic designs, giving priority to creativity and experimentation. They appealed to our clients. This approach meant my designs and paintings or metal reliefs fused easily with one another.



 

 

 

More and more of my ideas come out in low relief - aluminum, copper, copper enamel, steel and zinc. They have a life of their own in light. They are more complete than anything I have done in the past. Experimentation is obviously important as it is through his concepts, the artist has much to gain through the exploration of media and materials. But the artist must guard against preconceived solutions. I find endless possibilities working with metal.

In Singapore, if an artist sticks to only one form of art, he will have difficulty making living out of it. The answer, I believe, is to be able to tackle the different mediums. Indeed, the artist must always bear in mind the collector's needs. Discerning collectors look for uniqueness in ideas and application."
