Nature plays a dominant role in Lee’s images, and this focus stems from his early interest in zoology. The vibrant colors reflect the emotions he brings to the canvas, and he describes the process of creating art as “a kind of freedom.”

“When I feel something I’ve never felt before, there is a new color palette inside me, bursting to get out,” he says.
