I have to be successful because I like expensive shxt

The relationship between experience and material value reveals a fundamental

quest universally. As individuals increasingly seek fulfilment in memorable moments

and connections instead of accumulating possessions, highlighting what truly

enriches our lives. With the title "I like expensive shxt," young artist Leung

humorously and candidly articulates her outlook towards living. She cherishes the

everyday events and things that enable her to create meaningful experiences. This

perspective signifies a generational shift in priorities, as Leung opts to invest in the

small pleasures that life brings, highlighting the sentimental significance of each

experience rather than focusing solely on the monetary value of each object. She

prioritises happiness over the security that tangible possessions can provide, and

her joy in observing her surroundings is a key element that fuels her creativity. Her

work embodies this quest for pleasure and conveys a desire for deeper fulfilment,

reflecting a vibrant and contemporary approach to living.


Leung draws her inspiration from observations of human behaviour and habits. By

employing bold colours, contrasting shades, and unconventional compositions, her

works convey enchanting visual effects. Her characters often feature

disproportioned elements, which contribute a unique charm to her paintings.

Through playful creations like "Hot Dog Man," "Cucumber Man," and " Big Toucans,"

they encourage audiences to explore endless possibilities for imagination and

enjoyment. Leung’s artworks not only reflect her passion in life and commitment to

spreading positive energy, but they also encapsulate her inner world. Pieces such

as "I said I'm fat not ugly" and "Americano even when I’m freezing" reveal the

complexities of human emotions, allowing viewers to connect instantly with her

works.
