Artist Statement:
I have a special feeling for painting when I am painting I forget the world and it makes me feel light. While painting, the whole world is my canvas and I can create freely. I hope to express my own language with paint; not imitate others vocabulary.
I love colors; they are like toys to me. I can play with them wantonly. As I travel or in daily life if I find interesting scenery, I photograph it as my painting subject matter. I can paint any subject matter. I paint with different techniques for different subjects. I think because different subjects are not the same they need different skills, techniques and colors so they will move other
