Art is the key to opening our minds, the confluence and interflow between splendor and wonder. Although how we communicate and perceive art is both subjective and personal, art's beauty is not merely an admiration of museums' master paintings or astonishment from detailed craftsmanship, but it is developed through our mind's ability to freely think, question, and discover. When I participate in this experience as a creator of art, the vital and unbound process drives my purpose and animates my existence.

The primary goal of my work is not to strive for extreme realism or best of show but to focus on portraying truths and uncovering raw emotions. The business of art may prosper for a period if the artist is skilled enough to compose visually indestructible artworks, i.e., employing all the aesthetic tools, art elements, design principles, etc. However, more does not necessarily mean better, as Henri Matisse said in his treatise on painting. "All that is not useful to the picture is detrimental." What truly makes a piece of art memorable and timeless can be reduced to the power of connecting with audiences on a deeper and emotional level.

While concentrating on motifs of inner expression and empathy, I also overlay various media to generate new techniques and possibilities. Although a pastiche of mediums can be used to convey different moods and sentiments, dramatic effects may thrive excessively. A continuous challenge is to emphasize the rhythm between layers and yet retain a balance between an initial design and experimentation. I will continue to create work with increasing freedom as my journey progresses and my inspirations accumulate.

Wayne Yeh / Los Angeles, CA / March 2011

Wayne Yeh's art career started back in high school, making and selling his drawings and paintings. Although his customer base never extended beyond the circle of his kind teachers, nor did he become the richest schoolboy, the enjoyment of art-making inspired him to keep exploring. In college, he began learning about multi-media. Soon he was tutoring students in software like Photoshop, Flash, and web programming languages. Wayne currently balances his work and education with volunteering and charity work. To this day, Wayne has serviced many professionals and companies, from designing magazine ads to creating web pages, television commercials, independent short films, and more.

Wayne Yeh was born in 1982 in Taiwan and has been holding it down in Los Angeles since the age of 13. He is currently working part-time for the U.S. Navy, meanwhile, infusing his passion for art into life. His favorite foods are pizza, In-N-Out Burger, tortas, and last but not least, his homemade fish sandwiches.

Wayne may seem outgoing and crazy, but don't be fooled! He is one of those extreme artsy fartsy types, very much like a painting; many see it but few ever understand its true meaning. All we can do is speculate, devise wild theories, and enjoy it long after the artist is dead.... Except that was back then! Thanks to the Internet, art no longer has to be that mysterious. Wayne believes art should be about being expressive and real, and he loves sharing critiques and feedback. Feel free to visit him on Facebook or get in touch by email.
