At present, I live in Shenzhen. After graduating from Shenzhen University, I worked as a teacher. Later, out of my strong desire for art creation and to expand the artistic creation space, I quit my job and started to reflect on this in 2009. My first step was to cycle across Tibet. It took me more than four months to visit many remote areas. I wished to create a spiritual bond and a fresh dimension of thought between this mysterious land and my principle of art creation. In order to find my own unique language on the road of creation, I have made many attempts to find inspiration in national characteristics and Chinese history and culture, but I am not satisfied with the results, and finally, I found the answer from the saying: “My biggest enemy is the angle of myself.”
That is to say, I learned to break the frames of mind. What I saw then was no longer an objective world. It seemed as if I had entered another world. I learned to observe without restraint. Being able to paint freely, as I understand, should be a reflection of speculative and philosophical thinking, not just a copy of nature. Painting can only be obtained by thinking, imagination and fantasy, combined with the real feeling of self-expression.
I attach great importance to the expression of personality and spiritual outlook in my creation. The eyes of the picture image lead the viewers into their living environment and feel the character of the image. In picture processing, I like to create a real and mysterious artistic realm by combining classical sculpting techniques with self-emotional transfiguration, gorgeous colours and romantic feelings. Through my brush, I can feel the most beautiful quality of human nature. -
