"The theme, which I decided to portray through my final, was fantasy and surreal art. This theme appealed to me as it allowed for a lot of freedom and creativity in terms of composition. It also allowed for me to explore different concepts and expression within my final piece, as well as in my folio. Initially, I intended to do a more detailed ink piece, as I enjoy working in that medium, however, as I progressed through my folio I decided I wanted to make my work colourful, which made using paint more ideal. For my final piece, I was inspired by technology and human anatomy. I was also inspired by artists such as Huang Po Hsun, who uses a variety of different colours to create aesthetically pleasing colour palettes for her work. I also admire her unique compositions which inspired me to experiment with different perspectives to create a balanced piece of art work."
