Eric Chiang grew up in Taiwan, now lives in Westport. He is a self-taught painter. As a youth, on his own he studied the history and techniques of composing classical music and of creating visual art. In 2007, he quit his job as a technology executive on Wall Street so he could create art full time. His artwork has been exhibited in Taiwan, New York, and many area venues. He is a member of Taiwanese American Arts Council, Silvermine Guild, Westport Artists Collective, Ridgefield Guild, and Fairfield Cultural Alliance.
Eric says his goal is to“create artworks that (1) manifest my quest into the meaning and significance of our existence against this infinite space-time, and (2) express my profound empathy of panhuman desperation, love, connections, and hope...”
