Artist Statement

The presence of the female body shape in my work has a dual purpose: on the one hand, body shape is one of the most direct ways to express or describe beauty; on the other hand, it represents that the body shape can express emotions and feelings. I believe this silent transmission has the magic of touching people's souls.

Because of my personal experiences, I am addicted to dancesport, especially Latin Dance. Dancing is all about the lines of the dancer's body, everyone will be getting old and they lose the lines sooner or late, and you will never get it back, I am trying to record the most beautiful lines at that moment. By combining the lines I do best in painting, I created this series <Beauty and Power>.

As a female artist, I also hope to show the strong spiritual power and social role displayed by women. For years, I have been observing and experiencing that women are increasingly valued, respected, and playing an important role.
