1. What's your story? Where are you from?

I am Sceroz from Hong Kong. There is no right or wrong in art, which gives me space to demonstrate my curiosity of different life issues and comfort myself at the same time. I think art for me is a kind of self-healing process, like the character I created - Maymay, who represents the " inside child of an adult" and is being forced to grow up and faced the reality.

2. Tell us about your aesthetic.

I appreciate beauty which has its own meaning and can "fill in the blank" of people's soul.

I used acrylic in the past as I liked its sense of touch, but now I try more on digital art because I can view different outcomes of my artwork efficiently, and I can spend more time on thinking about how to present my creation.

I will draw the draft first, and finish it in iPad or computer bases on the software I need.
