I started Soothing Playground on Instagram in 2024.

I gave up art when I was a teenager.

After receiving a poor grade in a public art exam — and fearing the stereotype of the “starving artist” — I walked away from the one thing my heart truly loved. At the time, drawing meant everything to me.

Now, in my late thirties, I’ve returned to painting — not to chase success, but to reconnect with a part of myself I had buried.

I’ve dedicated myself to capturing those “Instagram-worthy” moments and turning them into paintings. It’s interesting to ponder whether the small, simple moments in life are the true indicators of a happy life. While these snapshots paint a beautiful picture, it’s easy to get lost in other people’s lives when scrolling through social media.

我曾經離棄畫畫。

我是一個會考美術成績不好的畫畫人。同時是一個美術指導。

我現在已經從事美術超過10年，只想用生命繼續創作。

我把「igable」的美好微小生活變成畫作。你認同微小簡單的生活片段才是幸福的證明嗎？當我一直滑手機的時候，看到每一個人都把自己好生活的證明放上來，所謂「igable」，看著美好的畫面，很快就會迷失在別人的生活裡。

人生就不是什麼大成就、名利、住哪裡的問題。「歲月靜好」才是真正的奢侈品。你今天過得平靜嗎？

大家有活在自己眼前的生活嗎？
