As part of the grand celebration of the Hong Kong Flower Show, the 94-year-old artist Fapopo will participate with her unique artistic flair, becoming a dazzling highlight of the event. Her installation art weaves together her life story, profoundly reflecting the deep, indescribable connection between flowers and art. Since childhood, Fapopo has had an inseparable bond with flowers; her love for them is as passionate as her enthusiasm for painting, intertwining to form the theme of her life. In her youth, she sold flowers at the Mong Kok Flower Market, and decades of experience have given her an encyclopedic knowledge of every type of flower, allowing her to vividly capture the essence of these blooms in her artwork.

Even at her advanced age, Fapopo remains actively engaged in her artistic creations, painting every day. For her, art is as essential as breathing, and her passion has not waned with age. She is undoubtedly a treasure in Hong Kong's art scene, elevating her work to higher platforms through her persistence and talent. She has participated in the renowned Affordable Art Fair and exhibitions at several five-star hotels, showcasing her undeniable artistic prowess and exceptional skills, earning her a strong reputation. Although she could not pursue her dreams in her youth due to family difficulties, she revealed her artistic talent in her eighties after retiring, demonstrating a gift and self-taught spirit akin to a Hong Kong version of Yayoi Kusama, which is truly
astonishing. Like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, she bravely immersed herself in the world of painting. This resilience and love are deeply moving. Through this art installation, she expresses her close relationship with flowers as akin to home. She has intentionally selected several artworks related to household items to evoke the feeling of Fapopo's home, hoping to share this sentiment and awaken precious memories of time spent with family, vibrant and rich like flowers. Fapopo's creative style has a distinct sense of nostalgia, with bold and vibrant colors that aptly interpret her life story. She also showcases unique visual effects through various vessels, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in an art atmosphere filled with memories.
