Kiki Lin
Through textured and colorful layers of glue pigments in the orderly dot pattern, the dots in Lin paintings symbolize her life experience and the routine of everyone`s daily ritual.

The materials I use for my creations include acrylic painting, water-based mediums, mineral pigments, metal foil, and handmade paper. Mixing colors with acrylic materials involves physically touching the pigments, creating a tactile experience through fingertips and minerals. Starting from records and memories of everyday objects, I transform abstract visual and tactile senses into personal life experiences, representing intimate symbols closely related to my creative process.
On my journey of creation, I've moved from external exploration to internal depths, which has been an anxiety-inducing process for me. The unease and emotions cannot be fully articulated in words, but this phase of life has enriched my experiences, fostering richer and more introspective emotions in my work.
A significant part of my creation is rooted in personal relationships, particularly familial bonds. For me, family ties encompass motivations for happiness, security, and fulfillment, but also key triggers for anger, impatience, and struggle. Oscillating between the joys and challenges of family dynamics, unlike a traditional artist who might choose to escape, I document this self; the creator in me stands at the boundary of family and society. I interpret roles like "daughter," "sister," and "salesperson," while transforming everyday objects linked by familial relationships into canvases filled with circles, aiming to balance my current life state. When discussing how my art reflects my personal life, I often find myself confined by restrictive responsibilities. Creation allows me temporary respite.
Life is constructed through various elements, and each passing moment is irreplaceable. Through constant observation and the portrayal of "visual and tactile senses of everyday objects," I clarify shifts in my own mental state. In essence, through creation, I clarify myself, achieving the source of my creativity. The "Circle" series of creations, embedded with observations through sight, touch, and inner messages, enables me to consciously handle various emotions in my work and complete a series of pieces accordingly.
