Kwong Yeu Ting was born in Macau in 1922. He graduated with an M. A. in
Landscape Design from Kansas State University in the United States in 1949.
Kwong went to Europe in 1956 to pursue an interest in painting. After a
successful first exhibition abroad in London in 1957, Kwong Yeu Ting returned to
Hong Kong, where he became active in the fledgling modern art movement. Today,
Kwong Yeu Ting is considered a senior art educator in Hong Kong. His prints and
paintings have been collected an exhibited extensively in Europe, Asia and the
United States.
Artist's Statement:
"To me the joy is in painting a
picture. I'm not concerned with what happens afterwards. It's like when you
travel - it's the journey that will interest you not the destination." “I would
like someone who looks at my paintings to have the same feeling I had when I
painted them.” "I want to give them something beautiful, something worthwhile -
like going to a scenic spot and gaining pleasure from what you see around you."
- Kwong Yeu Ting
