On concentration in Bianca’s artworks is the dynamic relationship between mankind and environment factors (including place, time etc.). Bianca has reflected on issues deriving from rapid urban development in Macau over the last few years, and explored the boundaries between different media, image carrier (such as canvas) and the image itself, and an artwork and its exhibit space. Bianca uses a variety of media, materials and methods to interpret art.
