My journey to the 15th Asia Art Alliance Exhibition 2025 in Taoyuan, Taiwan, was nothing short of incredible. Despite the cold and chilly weather, with rain and strong winds adding to the atmosphere, the experience was refreshing and filled with artistic inspiration.

Dressed in my traditional costume, while others, including a distinguished man in a suit, joined the celebration, the event was graced by the Deputy Mayor, Director of Culture, organizers, sponsors, and esteemed guests. With over 1,000 attendees, the exhibition buzzed with excitement. The charity event supported special needs children, making it all the more meaningful.
I was honored to donate one of my paintings, capturing a special moment in a photo with the collector.
I also had the chance to take a photo with the chief curator Professor Chiung-Jui Hsiao, a moment to cherish.
Later in the evening, we attended the Gala Dinner at Fullon Hotel, where I collected my charity certificate, a beautiful token of the event’s purpose. The night was filled with fun, laughter, and connections with fellow artists. (Ref: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61570156952368)

With artists from 20 countries and over 200 paintings exhibited, the 15th Asia Art Alliance Exhibition 2025 was a phenomenal event. Everything was expertly organized by the Asian Art Alliance and Pan Asia Art and Taiwan organization, with great support from the government.
