My Creative Work:
| |
Originally from China, where I was trained in an academic college of fine arts, I made a long trek both physically and psychologically to Canada and the States for my MFA education and new inspiration. As a diaspora artist, I have developed a pictorial style that combines an exquisite, traditional painting technique with an outsider’s view of an often incomprehensible new world. With a particular fascination with reflective surfaces – windows, doors, mirrors, blinds and glass, which I use as portals of perception, I create some visual images which are hyper-realistic, abstract, and sometimes humorous.
