Born in Tainan, living in Tainan, but not confined to Tainan. The principal of medium creation is planes and devices. His creation series consist of Graceful Scenery, Meditation in Coffee House, Imprint, Parallel Flying Clouds, Knight and Wooden Horse, Journey of One-Legged Deva, Songs of the Mountain.

Loneliness has always been an important theme. The One-Legged Deva does not only have one leg but also walks alone. The subject is related to life, for example, hiking and swimming. He loved and painted mountains for life, and finally put his life in the mountains, roving the nature of human vulnerability. However, by devoting his life, thinking and creating art, he also confirmed the eternal truths of art.

Quote: "Human beings produce more humans, who produce artworks, these artworks which inspire ideas, ideas which give spirit to life."
