Eric WH Chin
Eric has a keen interest in portraying the human form. Portraiture serves as a means for him to explore emotions, expressions, and the intricacies of the human experience.
Eric also draws inspiration from the environment he is in and the expansive beauty of nature. Having a profound fondness for animals, birds are featured as his favourite subject for painting.
Eric works mainly in oil and watercolour. In oil, he exploits the scrumptious and buttery-nature of the paint and creates paintings in impasto style that are frequently completed in one session (i.e., alla prima). He loves the intricacy of watercolour and a sense of loosing control by letting the medium drives the outcome of the painting.
