About Me

I am Yi Yang. My day-time job is designing beams and columns for buildings, but I also have a passion for capturing the beauty of original things and let it low out of my brush tip.

I never stop practicing on my existing skills and learning new skills, with a goal to pass on the sense of beauty I experience to the audience, no matter how simple it is.

Media and Style

I practice watercolours, traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy.

I love the abundant possibilities of shades and colours. It is a great tool to capture all the subtle variations of colours in nature.

I appreciate the simplicity and conciseness of Traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy - every brush touch should serve to capture the essence and the spirit of the object and how I feel about the object. This is the goal of my practice.

My story

Me and art

When I was a kid, one of my dream jobs was to get retired. It was not because I was already exhausted by primary school homework. It was because my retired grandparents looked the happiest amongst all my family.

As I grew up, I gradually realised it is impossible to retire before old enough for most people, so I started to think, what would I do if I am retired now?

My answer was, and still is that I want to do paintings and calligraphy, which is something I don't need to wait. I can start learning and practicing whenever I have time.

I'm glad I did make a start a few years ago, because there's so much to learn, and I still have so much time. I'm also glad that I'm able to capture any moment of beauty using my brush and paint as far as I can, and present to you, my audience.

The footer of the front page syas "enjoy browsing". I mean it! Because I just shared with you my joy of taking nice pictures and making a good-looking website.

Ear clip-ons

I currently only do ear clip-ons, mainly to serve people like myself:

Got ear pierced but didn't work out. Cannot be bothered to do it again...or for whatever reason cannot get ears pierced.

But still super interested in shiny and beautiful earrings!

I hope these earrings solve similar problems for you too!
