<Aurora Revelation>, by applying scientific knowledge in creative arts, Ms TK Chan is calling for solidarity around concerns about global warming. Her new creative oil painting series is called <Aurora Revelation>. It is inspired by the mysteriously beautiful but volatile Aurora Borealis, which can be seen in the north of Scotland. TK is applying her self-invented creative and interpretive brush strokes in <Aurora Revelation> to capture the light patterns through her own eyes. The artist has used this series of paintings to bring an awareness of Global warming as an issue that everyone should be concerned about. The <Aurora Revelation> are circular artworks, which represent the Earth, Sun, Stars and the relationship of Human Solidarity. Each brush stroke is created using a unique circular motion. These numerous small circles, depicted on a circular canvas act as metaphors that appeal to everyone regardless of skin colour, race, nationality, political background, culture, gender, sexual orientation, ability, health, disability, social class, wealth or any other background to join together to protect our mother Earth in harmony.

Her abstract painting centres around the circle, which represents the concept of Oneness, unity, and eternity. By utilizing circle-shaped canvases and brushstrokes, TK emphasizes the interconnectedness of all things. The dialectical relationship between brushstroke and canvas mirrors the relationship between the universe and the individual artist.

She employs one or two green-yellow brushstrokes, composed of oil and crushed stone pigment, on a large circular surface. This approach symbolizes the gathering of energy and the unification of diverse elements, reflecting the concept of Oneness. Through minimalistic strokes and circular shapes, TK's art conveys a deep philosophical message about the inherent unity of existence.

香港畫家陳紫君小姐一向以英國蘇格蘭優美風景為題材，此系列作品靈感來自於多變的北極光。對於北極光的關注，多數來自科技探索，攝影紀錄等媒介，而紫君則以傳統的繪畫技術加以獨特創作，以北極光為靈感，宣揚人類團結一致愛謢地球的訊息。

陳紫君《極光啟示》是運用科學知識於創意藝術中呼籲全球暖化議題所展開的作品。她這個系列受到蘇格蘭北部神秘美麗但變幻莫測的極光啟發創運用了她自創的創意和詮釋性筆觸，通過自己的視角捕捉光的模式。通過這作品提高人們對全球暖化問題的意識，強調這是一個每個人都應關注的問題。《極光啟示》的圓形代表地球、太陽、星星和人類團結的關係。每一筆觸都使用獨特的圓創造而成。這些在圓形畫布上描繪的許多小圓圈作為隱喻，呼籲每個人無論膚色、種族、國籍、政治背景、文化、性別、性取向、能力、健康、殘疾、社會階級、財富或任何其他背景，共同保護我們地球，實現和諧。

她的抽象繪畫圍繞著圓形，代表著統一、團結和永恆的概念。通過利用圓形的畫布和筆觸，紫君強調了萬物相互聯繫的關係。筆觸和畫布之間的辯證關係反映了宇宙與個體藝術家之間的關係。

藝術家運用抽象的繪畫技法，將紅色極光以獨特的方式呈現出來。這幅畫靈感源於五行之一的火元素，象徵能量、激情和改變。她用厚重的筆觸在大圓形畫布上繪製了許多小圓形，將深紅色與黃色融合，營造出多層次的紅色調，宛如火山的色彩。這些圓形的分布彷彿是從太空俯瞰地球時所見，呈現出不規則朦朧的景象，形成了地球的形狀。而這些小圓形象徵著人類，每個都代表著獨立的個體。這種抽象的描繪方式讓觀眾能夠自由詮釋和感受作品，同時展現出獨特的美感和視覺效果。觀眾可以透過這種畫法感受到日落時分天空的變化和神秘感。
