為甚麼他鍾情於藝術創作?開始的原因來自一個展覽,在就讀高級文憑前,曾經來到香港中心參觀舉辦的「莎茲亞·西坎達︰意象演義」。展覽會上談及莎茲亞·西坎達的藝術生涯,這是他第一個由自己親身體會的藝術家。
起初,主要是繪畫創作,尺寸不受限制。敢於挑戰柜架是受到莎茲亞·西坎達的創作風格所啟發,她令印度波斯纖畫脱離了大眾所認知的領域。
他沒有停止創作,"My copy in the life"是他第一次嘗試以裝置藝術的形式去表現的作品,使用膠紙包裹手掌,並且做出模組從中了解到其局限之處。
自此,他開始將繪畫和裝置藝術組合在一起,"The social, which being dangerous"是以五個塑膠彩畫加上雕塑而成的作品,它談及香港社會的現象,不只如此,這些也牽涉到世界。最近,開始創作關於基督教的作品,受信仰影響,他以自身的經歷表達對基督教的見解。
