Art Perspective:

The true source of an original narrative language is the artist’s sincere self-expression.
In my work, I interpret the culture, nature, and people’s life stories by establishing a connection between reality and fantasy. The unique, distinctive staining of the watercolor technique has a significant impact on the direction of my work. This influence allows life stories to emerge, both intellectually and emotionally.
