Behind work story :  
Originally  I was industrial design ( for many years ) but I don't have professional art painting skills training before.)
In 2012 I had a trip visiting east coast ocean of  Taiwan. I was so touched by the 7 Star Ocean's beauty in Hwa Liean.  So after the trip I made decision to learn painting. (  learning painting is one of my dream as a child also )
So in 2012 in February I found a professional oil artist  teacher to learn painting skills from very basic pencil sketch to start.
Last year ( in 2012 ) in Moon festival in Chinese society we would have family gathering. And my elder sister's kids came back to celebrate Moon Festival. And their kids ( my nephew ) played the traditional game , firing on the firecrackers in the front yard. When they lighten on the fire I was so touched by their moment and innocent faces. So at time time I had the idea to paint this subject.  But so pity that night my camera was not at my hand. So I couldn't catch the touching moment's photo.

But I kept this in mind. I told myself that next time I will picture and record it down for painting. In 2013 in February we had another big Chinese Festival , it was Lantern Festival. So I waited for this day for months. Once again they came back to celebrate the lantern festival. This time my camera was prepared and ready. So I  took chance to shoot many photos for reference.  And Then I spent about 1 month ( April to May ~2013 ) to complete this work.

What was this work want to convey? 
This is a kind of tradition and popular activity in Chinese society.  I believe everyone in Taiwan and in Chinese society has the same experience like this painting. And everyone had the experience to play the activity  with neighbors or cousins as childhood. But after growing up some of the relationships are changed. 

I hope when people seeing this work they can recalled the innocent days as a child.  And return ( restore to in mind and soul ) to the innocent kid...  because inside everyone's heart live a  innocent child.   

每個人的心中~  都活著一個小孩  ... 

希望這幅畫能觸動每一個人小時候的自己~ 
喚醒~ 活在每個人心中的~ 那一個 innocent kid ~ 
再次活回小時候的那一個自己~ 尋找回...小時候的夢想~ 
長大之後~ 應該勇敢去實踐~ 小時候曾有過的夢想 !
