Beauty in diversity HKUST is known for its education and research in science, technology and business management. These areas of knowledge are just one side of the story – art and culture are also emerging ski l l sets among our students. Witness four alumni ar tists showcasing their abilities in this very special exhibition that shows the power of passion, following your dreams, and being the best you can be. Together We Empower – these four artists show that the collective is more important than the individual, and the sum is greater than its parts. 科大以科學、工程及工商管理學科見稱，不過這只是科大眾多面 貌的其中一元。經過時月的沉澱、發酵，我們的莘莘學子陸續展 現出藝術天份和文化造詣。這次展覽正好讓四位擁有藝術家身份 的校友一展所長，展現其滿腔熱誠、追逐夢想、突破界限所帶來 的成果。「成就未來 齊放異彩」 —— 四位藝術家以行動証明團 結就是力量。 多元之美
Jeanie 自小夢想成為畫家，在學時卻選修了工商管理，畢業後隨即投身銀行 業。2009 年，一個短期藝術課程再次燃起 Jeanie 的畫家夢，於是毅然辭去銀 行工作，全心全意投入繪畫創作，成為全職藝術家。2010 年，她創作故事人物 Oowa，並推出首部作品《心願》; 及後相繼推出多部繪本及舉辦個人展覽，並 與多個知名品牌達成合作企劃。2015 年，Jeanie 首次於香港參與國際藝術展， 更受邀於 2016 年到意大利舉行其在歐洲的首個個人畫展。 今天，Jeanie 以畫家與母親的身份繼續創作。兒女的出生讓她再一次參與和見 證生命的成長，並希望透過繪畫呈現生命的美麗。 生命的流動 並非所有畫家都願意描繪親密的家庭生活，Jeanie 卻樂此不疲，以熱誠及筆觸 分享親子關係的一點一滴。豐富的用色和簡單的線條，帶領觀賞者走進她的內 心深處，尋找畫中的意義。Jeanie 筆下的角色造型趣怪，卻又有幾分夏卡爾 （Marc Chagall）的影子。不過，今次參展的作品之中，最特別的莫過於出自 她七歲女兒 Sonia 手筆的畫作。母女二人的創作雙雙展出，展開一場藝術的對 話，以不同的角度呈現出童真與彼此塑造的關係，相映成趣；Sonia 的作品童 心盡顯，Jeanie 的作品則多了一份身為人母的體會。 Jeanie worked in the banking industry for a couple of years after earning a business degree from HKUST. Her childhood dream of becoming an artist went unrealized until she decided to become a full-time painter in 2009 after taking a short painting course. Since the creation of her signature character “Oowa” alongside the publication of her first picture book “A Time for the Heart” in 2010, Jeanie’s talents have been further showcased in her publications and solo exhibitions. She also collaborated with well-known brands on several creative initiatives. After participating in an international art exhibition in Hong Kong in 2015, she held her first European solo exhibition in Italy in 2016. Today, Jeanie still paints with gratitude for the opportunity to witness and experience the growth of life again as a mother, which has allowed her to paint with a new perspective. Flow of Life Many artists shy away from intimate depictions of family life, but Jeanie embraces them with verve, style and passion. She employs a wide range of colors, walking down the path of simple expression, which connects the audience in a meaningful and deep way. Jeanie’s whimsical paintings, evocative of Marc Chagall, are accompanied by similarly fascinating depictions created by Sonia, Jeanie’s 7-year-old daughter. Together these artworks present how the mother and daughter shape each other and the joy of childhood, both from the child’s perspective and also from the mother, who learns more about the meaning of parenthood. This exhibition serves as a special conversation between the two in the form of art.

Drawing and flying were both Claudia’s childhood dreams. She mapped out her career path when she was 15 years old, inspired by a newspaper article about a female pilot. She chose civil engineering as her major at HKUST, which included fluid mechanics, a discipline related to aviation. In her second year of university, Claudia joined the Hong Kong Air Cadet Corps and received a scholarship from the Guild of Air Pilots and Air Navigators to achieve her Private Pilot License in Australia. Upon graduation, Claudia was accepted to the Dragonair Cadet Pilot Program (later known as Cathay Dragon), becoming a cadet in 2008 and then pilot in 2010. With the closure of Cathay Dragon, Claudia, who had become a mother of two, was able to take a break after her 13-year career as a pilot and resume her childhood dream of being an artist. Focusing on drawing pets and animals, Claudia learnt about pastel drawing and oil painting by watching YouTube artist channels. She resumed flying recently but still hopes to continue her art career. The human and animal bond Pilot Claudia’s love of animals translates into a photo realist style, with harmony in composition and color, and vivid l ivel iness that recal l the Impressionist stylings of Pierre-Auguste Renoir or Paul Gaughan. Claudia has been interested in animals for a very long time, having owned pets, and had completed pet portraits before. Her current focus on pets came after she made a pet portrait of her friends’ dog, which was quickly shared across social media, garnering lots of attention. Looking at Claudia’s artwork, one is inspired by her life-like depictions that create a sense of beauty and intimacy. Yet one of the limitations of Claudia’s work is the time it takes to complete one portrait, taking anywhere from one to two weeks, meaning she can only draw a handful a month. We hope that she can continue to fly and paint at the same time! 畫畫與當機師同是 Claudia 的兒時夢想。十五歲那年，她受到一篇關於女機師 的報導所啟發，立志投身航空業，中學畢業後便報讀科大的土木工程學位，學 習與飛行息息相關的流體力學。大學第二年，Claudia 加入香港航空青年團， 並獲得英國皇家飛行員及導航員協會的獎學金，遠赴澳洲考取私人機師資格。 於科大畢業後，她加入了港龍航空（其後改名「國泰港龍」）的見習機師培訓 計劃，並於 2008 年成為見習機師，後於 2010 年正式成為機師。國泰港龍停 運之後，已為兩子之母的 Claudia 決定暫別十三年的飛行生涯，重拾兒時畫家 夢，靠觀看 YouTube頻道自學粉彩畫和油畫，畫出栩栩如生的寵物和動物肖像。 即使最近重返駕駛艙，她仍然不願放下畫筆，並希望這份藝術事業同樣可以展 翅翱翔。 人．動物．情 和諧的構圖、柔和的用色，以及逼真傳神的造型，都讓人聯想起雷諾瓦 (Pierre- Auguste Renoir) 和高更 (Paul Gaughan) 等印象派大師的畫風，而一幅幅維肖 維妙的肖像畫，其實是源自 Claudia 對動物的愛。Claudia 鍾愛動物良久，曾 飼養寵物，亦畫過寵物肖像，但後來成為畫家卻是一個偶然。她為一位朋友的 寵物狗繪畫肖像，畫作後來被分享到社交媒體，旋即吸引眾多網民的眼球，令 Claudia 成為網絡寵兒，並轉往寵物肖像畫家的跑道上。從一幅幅細膩而逼真 的作品之中，觀賞者不難感受到藝術之美，以及 Claudia 對動物的親密情感。 當然，每幅創作都是以心血和時間換取的，需要花一至兩星期才完成，因此每 個月只有數幅出品。到底這位重新起飛的機師將如何在藝術界畫出一片全新的 天空呢？就讓我們拭目以待。

A keen photographer starting from his teenage years, Terence threw caution to the wind and became a professional photographer, after working in IT for more than a decade. Terence has developed his own style of visual design and branched out to work on commercials, corporate events and music videos, all while pursuing his passion for photography. In December 2017 and November 2018, Terence staged his exhibition "Girl. Improvise", a recollection of his 10year journey in photography, at Jao Tsung-I Academy and HKUST respectively. "Every photo is a story as well as a starting point for understanding. The photo is a by-product to jot a note during my journey of creativity", says Terence. He adds: "pursue excellence, and success will follow". He is a disciple of the famous photographer Mr Alain Yip, also known as the Venerable Chang Lin after being a monk. I shoot, therefore I am A 14-year veteran of the image industry, Terence believes that capturing the moment is like taking a breath - it is essential to life. In "I shoot, therefore I am", Terence embraces the rare opportunity to stage a retrospective of the images he has shot, bringing back treasured recollections in a vivid manner. For Terence, photography is like a key to open the door to those particular moments, just like a time machine. Famous cinematographer Mark Lee PingBing said that capturing images of fered new hope, as people came and went time after time under the unchanged scenery. The presentation of this exhibition is in "Instagram" format, intended to bring all the moments and experiences to life. 在求學時期已是攝影發燒友的 Terence，在熱誠驅使之下，離開工作了十多年 的資訊科技界，成為專業攝影師。在追尋攝影夢的路上，Terence 建立出一套 別樹一幟的視覺風格，並開始為商業廣告、企業活動，以及音樂影片擔任攝影 師。在眾多作品集之中，《當下．女孩》系列記錄了他十年來的攝影歷程，並 於 2017 年 12 月及 2018 年 11 月分別於饒宗頤文化館及科大展出。「每張照 片都是一個故事，是了解的開端。照片只是創作歷程的副產品罷了。」他續道︰ 「只要追求卓越，成功自然會找上你。」身為攝影大師葉青霖（出家後以法號 「釋常霖」修行，人稱「常霖法師」）的徒弟，Terence 以扣人心弦的相片觸 動人心。 我影．故我在 十四年的拍攝經驗，令 Terence 堅信捕捉眼前一刻就如呼吸一樣，是生命中 不可或缺的一環。《我影．故我在》是一次難得的機會，讓他與多年來記錄在 鏡頭下的風景及人物來一場跨時空對話，令一個個意義非凡的場景重現眼前。 對 Terence 來說，攝影就是一條通往回憶的時光隧道，而電影攝影大師李屏 賓亦說過，隨著時光消逝，景物依舊，人事卻全非，唯獨攝影為人們帶來新的 希望。是次參展的作品特意以 Instagram 的形式展出，令相中的每段經歷都 顯得份外親切。
