The presence of toxic substances such as chemical toxins, oil-based paints, and the act of smoking cigarettes poses significant risks to human health and can severely compromise the immune system. As a professional visual artist and art consultant, I am acutely aware of these dangers and therefore make a conscious effort to minimize my use of harmful materials.The use of oil paints, in particular, necessitates a well-ventilated workspace and appropriate protective gear to mitigate potential health hazards, which is a consideration I take seriously.
In May 2023, I created two oil paintings which include Integrity and Rocky Roads. However, when I have created my abstract paintings using traditional materials, I have mainly used acrylic paints for many years up until March 2024. I have mainly been focusing on creating my art using digital softwares.
