About Artist’s Work:

Portraiture and animals allow me to express each character, emotions and personalities. I mainly use self-portrait to create complex narratives related to contemporary society. Plants, animals and objects have their own symbolic meanings. It is something so close to us that we did not even recognize them.
In printmaking, I utilize both eastern and western style of way to design my body of work. I have been experimenting with woodcut and intaglio to create my images. The meticulous fine line reveals my Chinese culture. Most of my works are created for myself. It reflects my emotions, characteristics and body languages.

What does “Home” mean to you: 

Comfort, security and warmness
