His experience would have been very much the richer had he been able to dive into the ocean to rub bodies with the sea creatures; his paintings would have been all the more experiential, powerful and monumental.  However, he is presently more concerned with the visual qualities of the underwater world.  His paintings are landscapes of sea creatures as he is more of an observer of these beauties through seeing them in aquariums, television screens and knowledge of them gained through extensive research through reading and listening.  The challenge in his work is how to express them in Chinese ink on rice paper of various shades and textures; how these creatures live and swim together in schools and the spectacle of the view.  They are painted small and in groups and viewers will be able to appreciate their beautiful, delicate and changeable forms as in the case of jelly fish.  When viewers look at them individually the artist betrays his joy in technical innovation in his paintings.
