"Crossing every break of waves at a furious pace
In remembrance of Enzo Ferrari
Continuing the heritage
The sound of La Ferrari echoes in the yellow Modena"
This series was created in 2014. Florence was the first female artist to create a series of art pieces for the exotic car market in Taiwan. The 3-year long exhibition was held in a leading local exotic car company, “Top Auto”. She was interviewed by “Luxury Watcher” magazine, a magazine featuring luxury items for the Asian market. During the exhibition she gave more than 20 private tours to VIP buyers and created more story-based paintings featuring Maserati and Ferrari. She also custom-painted a greeting card given to Top Auto VIP guests.
In 2015, Florence created a painting inspired by LaFerrari (a special edition that was made in 2013 with only 499 units worldwide). She said “ I tried to create my artwork by understanding the company’s history and core values. I incorporated the horse logo and the story of the fighter pilot in WWII. In the world of luxury sports cars, a Lamborghini is like Rock and Roll, a Porsche is country music, and a Ferrari is classical music. When you collect a Ferrari, you're not just collecting a sports car but also its history.
In 2016, Florence had a cross platform exhibition with “MOMA”, a fashion brand that operates more than 80 branches throughout Taiwan. She was dressed in MOMAs latest clothing collection in the Exhibition at “Top Auto”. This piece is now owned by “Top Auto” and is permanently exhibited in the company.

<Population Overcrowded>/ 2012/ Watercolor/ (37*45cm) - Figure 2
"In this overcrowded place, a mob of lunatics living as strangers travels on the same road.
Everyday, we deal with stress, oppression and absurdity. Circumstances in life has turned us into apathetic individuals. Florence was trying to convey these life circumstances through this image of a daily traffic jam. This piece has been shown across multiple platforms such as movie and public spaces."

<Disguise>/ 2012/ watercolor, mixed media/ (45*76cm) - Figure 3
"Over the years,
I painted numerous masks for art, and wore many of them myself.
However, could I still recognize what’s underneath once I removed these masks?"
This is the core piece in “The Absurd” series. The sudden death from a young life triggers artist Florence to embark on a journey searching for her inner self. The highly popular artwork has been made into a film and was a VIP item in the TTF Toys Exhibition at the Taipei Huashan Art Park. It also has been recreated using high-end art micro-jet prints and is suitable for installation in city and public places.

<Secrets>/ 2012/ watercolor, oil, Chinese ink/ (37*45cm) - Figure 4
"Bumping into you reminds me of
Our past is but a sweet illusion
Like the newly emerged butterfly
Attracts to a blooming flower
Lingering to its rich taste of nectar"
This is an experimental work by Florence. Combined with Eastern reflection and Western media, the art is to create a deliberate effect on presenting the power of “blank space”. (This art piece was selected for the 2017 Italian Fabriano Watercolor Exhibition and Yearbook Qualification/ADSC Global Art Alliance)
