A Dancer I Admire painted in acrylic on a 12''x16'' canvas; Dec 2025, Auckland, New Zealand.
This is a portrait of my favorite celebrity. I chose natural colors to evoke tranquility and security, accented with small flowers to convey purity and beauty. I believe heroes aren't necessarily caped, flying supermen. They can also be people in real life who spread warmth through their actions and illuminate others with their influence. She has consistently donated quietly to public welfare activities and charitable projects, personally visiting disadvantaged groups. During public events, she bravely speaks out, advocating for fairness and justice, using her influence to draw more attention to these causes. And through her actions, she shows me that success isn't accidental—it's the accumulation of persistence, self-discipline, and kindness.
