Vincent Lee grew up on Cheung Chau Island where he enjoyed a simple natural lifestyle and friendly relationships. He has studied painting for 20 years, drawing inspiration from nature and Chinese philosophy which values humility and cultivating one's character. His art teachers in secondary school taught him Chinese aesthetics and influenced him to express sincere reflections and organic compositions without being driven by trends. He strives to pursue a balance of Chinese and Western aesthetics through inheriting his fondness for nature and childhood sincerity as advocated in Chinese philosophy.
