HALim's Art Philosophy: 

​

(1) Like innovation, art creation's infinite. Good works of art are infinitely profound and enduring, and, do to a considerable extent, hold intellectual appeal.

 

(2) The only way forward is to have the courage and spirit to think out of the box to evolve to the next stage - an ongoing journey to push the envelope of art creation. Art knows no bounds!
