Welcome!
JAX KWOK
I only paint subject matter which makes me joyful, because I want the final product to make my audiences joyful as well! My artistic creations exemplify the natural beauty of my subjects, but with touches of whimsy and the magic of fantasy.
I create cultural themed paintings to stay connected to my roots. On the other hand, create nature paintings serves as my muse, with its colorful flowers instilling comfort, warmth, and hope in every stroke of my brush.
With all the negativity going on in the world today, life can be challenging. When your life is stuck, turn to the arts, it can't give your life direction, but it could provide some life dimension. Indeed, art can provide a spiritual shelter from the world and its misgivings.
My ultimate wish is for my audience to experience the same sense of joy and tranquility from my paintings as I do from the beauty of nature and culture.
