'I want to show the beauty of nature that I know so well. I want to use colour to show the power of light.'
'The colour of the morning dawn gives me hope. The colour of the sunset is the beauty I am looking to capture in my art'.
Chu Cil's favourite mediums are watercolour and acrylic, and he uses what he calls 'sweet colours'. Together with the people he loves, he hopes to continue to create more art.
