"I was born and educated at The Chinese High School in Singapore, but have spent most of my adult life in England and now Ireland, so I think and therefore paint differently to other Chinese artists.
Making a painting is similar to cooking, you need some basic ingredients, utensils, and a love for food. The paintings of Another Day Another Place Series are made up and influenced by things and events that affected me over the last few years."

- Mai Jinyao
