Rooted in my early training as a Chinese gongbi painter, my work continues to draw from the precision of line and the subtle art of color blending. I have always been drawn to the complicated stories within human figures, and the serenity of still life and landscape scenes.

During the pandemic, I felt deeply the unease and fragility of a younger generation—emotions very different from the resilience and restraint that shaped my own youth in China during the 1960s–90s. This encounter urged me to move beyond traditional forms toward abstraction and impressionistic expression.

The refined techniques of Chinese painting—its disciplined lines and delicate tonal layers—remain within me, but they now flow freely across canvas and mixed media surfaces. My works embody shifting emotions and memories from each era of life, becoming reflections of both personal and collective experience. Art, to me, has always been the most loyal companion, a language that never abandons me since I was 16.
