Artist Statement
Growing up in China, where the focus was strictly on agriculture and manual labor, my passion for art was always looked down upon. My parents saw drawing as a waste of time, almost immoral, and every attempt I made at sketching was met with strong disapproval. Despite this, the urge to create never left me. It's been a little over a year since I've truly started to explore my passion for art, giving myself the permission I was never granted as a child. I've thrown myself into experimenting with different mediums and colors, finding joy in the diversity and challenge they bring. I'm particularly drawn to capturing the human form, intrigued by the richly varied and beautiful physiques and facial expressions that make each person unique. My journey into the art world might have started later than most, but I'm excited to see where this path takes me.
