Born in Taipei, Tawain in 1974, it was obvious that he showed an appreciation for the masters. At the age of 11, Tony’s interest sprang a dedication to express his talents on canvas as well as an understanding to the motives behind such masterpieces.

Tony came to the United Stated in 1995. He received a B.A. in Fine Art from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California in 2000. From here, his interest and talents developed into a unique style all his own.

Tony’s subjects include contemporary women and a careful depiction of the sculptures of masters. Perhaps there is an intentional portrayal of a unique relationship between these sculptures and the subject. It’s as if time has paused to glance at his bold strokes, with an intriguing blend of past and present.

Through his tedious process of layers and textures filled with balance and color, his canvas come together with a beautiful multi-layered surface that depicts emotion from all who view his work.
