alias
Kam Fu Bernadette LEE-PISAPIA
(order of name used in Britain, Canada )
alias
Bernadette Kam Fu LEE ( maiden name)
LEE-PISAPIA, Kam Fu Bernadette
(order and form ( with a comma in between ) generally used in Hong Kong to distinguish
last name from first name)
Kam Fu Bernadette LEE-PISAPIA
(order generally used in Britain and Canada )
Bernadette is the writer as well as the publisher
the name chosen for the publisher ( not a registered company ) has two
formats:
LEE-PISAPIA, Kam Fu Bernadette ( Hong Kong format), or LEE-PISAPIA Kam Fu Bernadette ( Italian format) . Therefore, the comma in between does not mean two distinct individuals as it is used to distinguish the last name and the first name in the Hong Kong format. For the other format, capital letter has been used to indicate the LAST NAME from the first name.
( from 06/09/2023, the Italain format is officially transformed to LEE Kam Fu Bernadette coniugata PISAPIA . However, the fully extended writing of my hyphenated Last Name is still maintained as my Canadian and Hong Kong identity : Kam Fu Bernadette LEE-PISAPIA)

Shadows
David Hockney once noticed that Chinese paintings do not have shadows.
It was an interesting observation.
So I began a series of works during my stay in Hong Kong :
to paint everyday life with the idea of shadows in mind
flowers we buy, fruits we eat
all on different kinds of traditional rice paper
mostly types I never got a chance to purchase when I was in Italy
the first series were done in watercolour and pigments bought in Florence with Florentine binder
when my binder for making gouache finished, I began binding them in oils
my everyday life is lived with limitations and unlimited joy of experimentation: when I finished one kind of binder, another kind became a new way of seeing
the Still lifes look banale as they resemble of studies I did when I first learned how to paint. But in the banalness, I was reminded of the very joy of painting, firstly discovered-the initial sparks of inspiration, though now coupled with some sophistication with a slight touch of melancholy, perhaps.
the meaning of being young in the way of seeing perhaps is another kind of shadows: something that follows you deep down and something that gives you the kind of hope you need in order to move forward.

酸裏再生唐滌生的古夢
黃金的三位一體
竟在蕉兒裏看得見
那誇張的菠蘿櫚般葉
那女孩告訴我們
是從她菓園裏的菠蘿樹剛採下來的
