She commented on major Russian artist Kazimir Malevich who originated the avant-garde Suprematist movement by painting a black square on white canvas in 1915, "There was a purpose to his art back then because it changed the way people think about what a painting can do. But that kind of art doesn't appeal to me. I want to put emotions, colour and stories into my work. I want my works to be enjoyed."
On her series, “Modern Romanticism said .”: It is the view of
my own world. I created this fantasyland where all the people there are kings,
princes, princesses and knights, and I kind of live in it. I believe deep down
in their hearts, everybody wants to be a prince or princess.
When I was little, my parents were always busy
working so I was left home alone all the time. Being an imaginative kid I loved
reading fairytales and then started creating my own. When I became a painter,
those fantasies naturally reflected in my paintings.
Once they exhibited a painting of mine of a
fat woman staring at a lot of delicious food locked in a cage. A woman came to me
and told me she would buy that painting to hang on the wall of her daughter’s
bedroom to urge her to go to diet! I had never thought my painting could serve
such a practical purpose. Haha!."
When ask why does she think people like her artwork so much?
AB: I guess they like the coloring and
composition of my paintings because they look pleasant. Also, a lot of painters
nowadays are very keen on making their artwork political. They paint to
announce their ideologies. That’s good, but doesn’t work for me. I just love
painting beautiful and peaceful scenes. And I think everybody likes pure
beauty, serenity and happiness.
I really like her, her inspiration & also
that her paintings are beautiful & do not have “any political ideologies” ….lol…..
