Painting is My Emotional
Expression
Painting is an emotional record and expression based on beauty. At different stages of my life, I have left behind different expressive symbols, all of which are my understandings of the world and my own emotions. I use colors and lines to capture the profundity and beauty of this world.
HOPE AND FAITH. Oil on canvas, 34.06 × 42.72 inches.
Green is a symbol of vitality, and in my view, it is also a color full of hope. In the lush nature, it embodies the longing for a bright future, allowing everyone to equally enjoy the power of faith.
LINES AND SHADOWS. Charcoal on paper, 20.47 × 26.00 inches.
I strive to capture the form of a statue of Ares with the simplest lines. This is an exercise in mastering form and expressing more than just the shape.
RITE OF SPRING. Ink abstract painting, 13.39 × 31.89 inches.
Thoughts and seasons, ink traces and emotions, together form this spontaneous painting.
IMAGINATION OF THE SEA. Ink abstract painting, 13.39 × 31.89 inches.
Sometimes I use calligraphic lines to easily sketch shapes that come to mind. This is an impression of the sea, expressed through ink.
DEFIANCE. Ink abstract painting, 13.58 × 20.87 inches.
This work expresses spirit, attitude, and freedom, and it is also a different experiment in ink painting.
