I like to paint abstract art, it is a reality that does not exist, a product of thought, momentary feelings, a poem, a melody.... all that could be my inspiration to create.

Artists' works are often inseparable from their cultural background. I'm no different. Eastern influence constantly guides my path. With the touch of my brushes and the color palette, I attempt to capture on canvas that non-existent image.

Fong Fai's passion of art began in early of his childhood. When younger, he studied art in the New Asia College and the Hong Kong Academy of Art in Hong Kong. During one of his solo exhibition in 1974, he was voted as one of the six outstanding young artists in Hong Kong. He owned an art gallery (Fong's Art Gallery) and also taught at the Oriental Arts Institute in Hong Kong. His artworks were exhibited at many art galleries in Asia, Australia and North America. Later, Fong Fai was invited to exhibit his paintings in Hawaii and San Francisco, where he fell in love with this beautiful country and decided to stay. Today his work continues to appear in exhibitions in US and Asia. His work is included in many public and private collections. Throughout the years, Fong Fai artwork has transformed from realistic to semi-abstract, to totally abstract and finally evolved to his own style. He thinks that art is a visual link between the artist and the viewer.
