Beyond his hairstyling talents, Colin Chen is also a gifted painter, whose art showcases a captivating and vibrant contemporary Chinese folk style. His artistic inspiration often draws from the picturesque landscapes of his hometown in Zhejiang province, overlooking the serene East China Sea, as well as the memorable encounters and experiences during his time in Nova Scotia.Colin's journey as an artist began unexpectedly, as he never envisioned becoming one in his childhood. "I aspired to attend art school, but my family faced financial struggles during my upbringing," he recalls. Undeterred, he honed his painting skills through self-practice and determination.With a heartwarming spirit, Colin has used his artistic talent to give back to the community. Through a successful art auction fundraiser, he raised an impressive sum of over $30,500, with every penny dedicated to supporting heartfelt causes within the community. In November 2021, Colin auctioned 52 of his original paintings to raise funds for the QEII's orthopedic surgical robot, while also generously sharing the proceeds with the QEII Thyroid Cancer Fund and the Chester Art Centre.
