Steven was born in Hpa-an, Burma. He moved to Singapore in the early 2000s and attended public schools until he did his Diploma in Fine Arts in LASALLE. He is practicing film, design, collage and photography. He explores multiple media that are unconventional and experimental practices. He is currently researching on mythology and philosophy, by merging ancient and contemporary lores into works of art. The use of found objects, graphic design, collage and photography lies in hand with his belief of purpose and non-purpose art. His theory of art is inspired by John Dewey’s philosophy of aesthetics, art, logic and social thesis. 

Steven practices a combination of garment dying, uses an abstract and experimental technique of painting, along with an avant-garde collage of film photography and typography design. The elements that are seen in his works are meant to question art as a principle, using philosophies like Wabi-sabi and Expressionism. The innovation of his pieces imply the fusion of modern and ancient aesthetics. He uses a multitude of mediums, from installation, film, video and found objects. The ideology behind his works are based on an influence of Japanese philosophy which includes ancient ideals such as Shinto, Buddhism and Shibui. The elements that have influenced his works consist of asymmetry, simplicity, balance, freedom and tranquility.
