Echoes of Modrnity

In the heart of bustling Hong Kong, where tradition intertwines with rapid technological advancements, artist Sam Po finds inspiration in the city's dynamic duality. Raised in a family of calligraphers, Sam Po was deeply rooted in the delicate strokes and profound symbolism of ancient Chinese art. However, as he grew older, the neon lights, towering skyscrapers, and digital screens of modern Hong Kong began to infiltrate his creative consciousness.

"Echoes of Modernity" is a collection that captures this unique intersection between the old and the new. Each painting in the series was crafted with the assistance of artificial intelligence, a deliberate choice by Sam Po to symbolize the integration of technology into the artistic process. The AI-generated forms represent the chaotic, yet harmonious, nature of urban life, while the artist's hand guides these forms into compositions that echo the traditional aesthetics he cherishes.
