天星小輪長久以來，一直象徵著香港經典和歴史，簡約的構圖配上白綠兩色貫設一整個系列風格，軍綠色的船身上，細緻地刻劃每一個細節，而畫面集中在主角萌Q小熊貓與牠的小狗慵懶的狀態來享受一天的假期～

在急速的生活節奏下，放慢腳步，乘著天星小輪感受微風，感受維多利亞港的蔚藍，欣賞著閃爍的海面，看著傳統帆船漫漫盪漾，漂著那淡淡的海水味令人想念著從前，想念著小時候…. 透過作品表達天星小輪對香港的集體回憶和情懷！

For a long time, the Star Ferry has been a symbol of Hong Kong's classic charm and history. With its simple composition and the combination of white and green, this series embodies a consistent style. The military green hull is intricately depicted, capturing every detail, while the focus of the painting lies on the adorable and lazy state of Mr.Q panda and marshmallow.

Under the rapid pace of life, try to slow down and take a ride on the Star Ferry, feel the gentle breeze, embrace and admire the shimmering sea of Victoria Harbour. Watch the sailboats sway and let the faint scent of the sea evoke memories of the past, memories of childhood... Through the artwork, Star Ferry expresses its collective memory and sentiment towards Hong Kong.

The Peak「山頂」

Acrylic On Canvas
40 x 50cm (2023)

在創作山頂的過程中，作品中以主角萌Q小熊貓與牠心愛的小狗棉花糖享受一天假日的視覺，帶大家來到山頂凌霄閣，一座充滿香港風貌的著名景點。在藍天白雲和昂坪360纜車下，牠帶著心型眼鏡，懷著愉快的心情和活潑的姿勢跳著舞，為大家帶來歡樂！

作品背景以簡約的藍白橫間條去構建畫面，創造明亮的視覺感受令到整體和諧。天空的顏色採用了香港海港的藍色色調，留白的部分有刻意地留出，平整的線條以強調主題和創造一種寧靜和治癒的感覺。透過以不同的角度去描繪香港景色，從而展現香港是充滿魅力的城市。

The artwork depicts Mr. Q Panda and its beloved dog, Marshmallow, enjoying a day at the famous landmark in Hong Kong, The Peak. Under the backdrop of blue skies and white clouds, they dance joyfully, bringing happiness to everyone.

The background is constructed with simple blue and white horizontal stripes, creating a bright visual experience that harmonises the overall composition. The color of the sky adopts the blue tones of Hong Kong's harbor, deliberately leaving white spaces to emphasise the theme and create a sense of tranquility. By depicting Hong Kong's scenery from different angles, the artwork showcases the charm and allure of the city.

Red-White-Blue「紅白藍」

Acrylic On Canvas
40 x 50cm (2023)

紅白藍以香港為題，將充滿香港情懷融入創作中，並以經典的本地紅白藍間圖案作為畫面背景，讓人產生共鳴。同時，荷蘭風格派中的純粹與原色的藝術風格亦是為靈感之一，希望透過運用紅丶白丶藍這三種鮮明的色彩和簡單的線條描繪，明確突出本地元素。

在畫面中間的萌Q小熊貓，其活潑生動的表情增強了作品的視覺效果。牠手拿著一個獨有本土文化特色的小巴膠牌，以白底、紅、藍書法字寫上的「我愛香港」更能喚起人們珍貴的回憶，藉此繼續傳承香港文化精神。

Red-White-Blue revolves around Hong Kong, By infusing with a sense of nostalgia and incorporating the classic and local red, white, and blue striped pattern as the background, it hopes to resonate with the viewers. The use of pure and primary colours from De Stijl also serves as inspiration, aiming to highlight local elements through vivid colors and simple lines.

The adorable and lively expression of Mr. Q Panda enhances the visual impact of the artwork. It holds a unique local minibus sign, with the words "I Love Hong Kong" written in calligraphy on a white background with red and blue, which evokes cherished memories and continues to preserve the essence of Hong Kong's cultural spirit.
