FU MAN YAT

Fu ManYat, a Hong Kong artist, his works have been incorporated in “International Watercolor Artists” (Ponte Vecchin Press) and exhibited in Italy, Switzerland, Nepal, Thailand, Pakistan, Hungary, Taiwan, Albeniz, Vietnam, Kosova, Indonesia, Portugal, China. Trained in music from his youth, he carries a B.A and M.A Music Degree, an education that has influenced him throughout his life.
Fu paint moments where he is physically present, preferring to capture the emotional essence through direct interaction in his travels. To be continuously inspired to paint by the surrounding beauty offered in this world, and channel these sparks into collages that can document his experiences, constitute in Fu’s words the greatest treasure in life.
Through the process of painting, Fu came to realize the musical aesthetics he has been steeped in over the years subtly finding ways to manifest itself, increasingly noticing between fine arts and music a commonality. In Western classical music, beauty is enhanced by balancing structural form and complimenting musical expression; similarly, expression in visual arts is created with contrasting elements juxtaposing an overall balance of spatial unity.  Exploring these aspects has led to many new insights throughout Fu’s works, and has been his inexhaustible source of creativity.

In applying traditional realism, he hopes to represent and share the joy and beauty that life has bountifully provided wherever he goes. Over the years, he has run courses on water colors for Hong Kong Professional Teachers’ Union and the School of Professional and Continuing Education of the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
