My approach towards art making is allowing my own artistic style to be formed after a long period of exploration to find my own style, integrating my current experience into the works. The emotions, colors and composition found in my current works contain popular contemporary Western elements, but there are also some unique Chinese aesthetic elements in them. In expressing social phenomena, I take a macro perspective to interpret and understand the world. This abstract method of imagery reflects the beauty of painting language and is the method for my creative expression. As for the meaning of the works, I let the works convey my inner feelings during the creative process, which is unplanned and irreproducible. Art creation requires inspiration and no shortage of impulse, and there may be many different perceptions in the process. Similarly, for the viewer, the meaning they find in the work reflects their own inner states. When an artist searches in a state of uncertainty, this process gradually informs their aesthetics, and over time will reach a natural style.
