Jason Shih was born in 1972 in Taiwan. In 1991, he began to specialize in metal sculpture when he was a sophomore in the Fine Arts Dept. of Taipei National University of the Arts. In 2001, he graduated from School for American Crafts, Rochester Institute of Technology, USA, and majored in Metal Sculpture. And then, he served as the metal sculptor Albert Paley's assistant, involved in crafts and public art work practices. Furthermore, he earned his Art Ph. D. from China Academy of Art, China (2015). Now, he lives in Taiwan, and consistently engages in the both areas of sculpture and public art. Jason Shih’s artistic vision is shaped by a diverse array of influences, from contemporary dance to avant-garde fashion. As a professional sculptor, Jason likes to experience the taste of life with perceptual observation in the subtle moments, and also likes the ever-changing situation of game shapes in the poetic imaginary space. For Jason, art creation is to share various moods and stories in daily life.

My work explores the intersection of identity, emotion, and cultural legacy. Drawing from a background in portraiture, I aim to capture more than the likeness of my subjects—I seek to reveal their essence, inviting the viewer to connect with the spirit behind each face. From influential figures like Nelson Mandela to dream-like oceanic scenes, my art reflects both personal evolution and a fascination with storytelling through texture and color. Whether through bold palettes or subtle monochromes, my goal is to evoke a sense of nostalgia, intrigue, and reflection, reminding us that art is both an external narrative and an internal journey.

My love for art comes from my deep faith in God and the beauty He has created for us to enjoy. Painting is my passion and where I find my happy place. With almost every painting I get lost in my work and enjoying my passion. I am mainly a wildlife artist with attention to detail. My goal is to make each painting as photorealistic as possible. I love the details and I try to show as much as possible in each piece of work.

That is the ultimate in self expression." I am very drawn to shiny surfaces as well as transparent objects, especially when the lighting brings them to life. I look for beauty in everyday objects that most people take for granted or just don’t truly see them as they are. The seemingly boring and mundane subjects can truly be like magnets if portrayed in the right light. Shiny metal is one of those materials that can host endless visions….the light hits it and the reflections are captured on the smooth, sleek surface. Animals , people living things with character…an artists dream!
