Affirmation: A life time may be short, but it may also be long enough for us to make it the greatest journey. When the world turns upside down, cherish the people who love you, most important of all, remember to give yourself a life time love. This project is actually planned for quite sometimes. I started this artwork around March, since then, a lot of things happened and the world seems changed completely. On the other hand, we have more time to be with ourselves, to think and to realise what is really important to us. This artwork somehow kept me grounded all this time and I happy to say I finally have it completed at the end of September. It’s been a really long journey, sunny days and rainy days. Long working hours required determination and faith to achieved. I spent almost every day studying those intricate composition and fine details. If you look close enough, each tiny petal was built up by more than 10 layers. The process wasn’t an easy task but It’s a challenge that I enjoyed, and I am proud of myself for not giving up. There’s also another reason that I’ve never mentioned why I started this series in the first place. Which I did revealed during an artist interview on August 2020. Years ago, I was ill. The mother nature, my paint brushes and canvases were the things that helped me back to my feet. Since then I have decided, if I have the time/ life that I thought I nearly lost, I want to make good use of it to create something beautiful, to do something only I can do and to pass the positive messages and healing power to people, that intension never changed. Life goes on and I think we all agree that 2020 is a very different year. By the time I have this artwork completed, I decided to name this artwork 'A Life Time Love', which is also an extension from my previous artwork, 'A Life Time Journey', 'A Life time blessing', and 'Have Faith in A Sunny Place'. Because the world might change in all of a sudden, but love keep us grounded. This is also a reminder to myself—always take care and love yourself first, that’s what makes you stronger. I sincerely hope you enjoy this artwork from my signature series

Spiritual meaning of the flowers: Dianthus—flower of the Gods. Green Ball Dianthus, also known as Green Trick Dianthus are a unique flower with a fuzzy ball-shaped bloom. The name comes from the Greek words 'dios,' meaning heavenly and 'anthos,' meaning flower. Dianthus is one of the oldest cultivated flower varieties. Greeks and Romans used the flowers for decor, and garlands. Till now, Dianthus is still very popular and often used in floral arrangement.

Chrysanthemums symbolize deep passion and optimism. Red roses stand for true love and romance The flower of bird of paradise symbolize joyfulness and faithfulness.

Leucadendron, native to Australia, are often used to convey an appreciation for simplicity in life. Simple beauty is one of the most popular meanings for this bloom.

This artwork is inspired by an amazing floral arrangement that I spotted in Donvale, Melbourne, Victoria, 2020—An unforgettable year. Also based on my own photos.

In this signature series of mine, flowers as the object represent life itself to me. Our own will to be alive, and the way we want to be alive. While I carefully paint these tiny flower petals, or built up those fine leaves’ vines, it is like the way we try to figure out those uncertainty, furthermore, to be able to be closer to the truth a little bit more.
