Biography

A self-taught painter and photographer with eduction background on Artificial Intelligence, I embarked on my artistic journey eight years ago, following a successful corporate career. The transition to art came at a pivotal moment in my life, a decision born of both reflection and ambition.

My oil paintings were exhibited at major art events like Artexpo New York, Red Dot Miami and Art International Zurich. I was awarded as top ten Chinese photographers in 2023. I seek not just to represent the world as I see it but to transform it, imbuing each canvas with a spiritual and emotional resonance.

Artist Statement

Most of time, my painting art start with people or scenes which withholds much enthusiasm, those spots I see something with particularly interesting, shock or touched sometimes. Then I create the art pieces through painting as the attempt to create the artistic works beyond the originally sketch and drawing to more of illusion to other level. I start the art works with inspiration goal by navigating the whole process with composition and layer colors to create the mood moments to express visual world.
