Style of Painting

Follow the traditional painting techniques, enhance the modern conception, but I still return to the fundamental aesthetic.

Personal statement (about my works):

A little inquietude, fundamental aesthetic, natural beauty, That’s me.

I am very confidence about my arts.

I am very interested in ancient culture and fashion design of modern young blood, and put it in my works.

As a female, Classical beauty is my love. And I hope you can find ‘resonance’ with me.
