1. Technique
Sensory stimulation / Technique involves two aspects: one is painting skills, and the other is material application.
Sensory stimulation refers to the viewer's first intuitive reaction to the painting, and technique and materials play a major role in this experience. This work demonstrates a high level of technical mastery, with smooth brushstrokes and effortless execution, creating a sense of ease and comfort. Every stroke is perfectly balanced, with no unnecessary revisions, showcasing refined painting skills. Personally, I greatly appreciate this seamless execution, which brings me a sense of pleasure. The materials used, such as gold, silver, fluorescent colors, and acrylics, have a special quality that adds a distinct visual impact to the work. The combination of these materials gives the piece a modern, luminous feel, with layers and depth that elevate the overall composition.
2. Recognizability
Emotional resonance / Recognizability can also be called style, form, or symbol—anything that allows you to immediately recognize the artist's work.
For me, the astronaut helmet has become a signature element in my works over the years. It has evolved into a personal symbol, a defining feature that makes my artwork easily identifiable. This symbol not only represents my identity as an artist but also conveys an emotional resonance, particularly in today's world, where we are constantly confronted with thoughts about technology, the future, and humanity's quest for exploration.
3. Concept
Philosophical reflection / The development of a concept has two layers: one is the interpretation of others' concepts, and the other is the search for a unique, personal concept—a new way of describing the world.
Finance — This is a key industry in Dubai. Having lived here for nine years, I have witnessed the dramatic rises and falls of this sector, which have been nothing short of breathtaking.

My work is deeply rooted in the exploration of identity, culture, and the intersection of the natural and the digital. My artistic journey began in my early years, influenced by a fascination with both traditional and modern forms of expression. Growing up in China and living in Dubai for 10 years, I was drawn to the contrasts between Eastern philosophies and Western ideologies, which became a central theme in my work.

My style is often characterized by surreal and symbolic imagery, blending elements of pop culture, science fiction, and Eastern iconography. The recurring figures in my work—such as the Penguin and the Astronaut Deer—serve as metaphors for the human condition, questioning our place in a rapidly changing world. These characters, while playful and whimsical, reflect deeper themes of isolation, exploration, and the search for meaning in an increasingly complex society.

Over the years, I’ve honed a unique visual language that balances the abstract and the figurative, merging traditional techniques with contemporary digital media. My use of vibrant colors and dynamic compositions is intended to provoke thought and evoke emotional responses, inviting viewers to reflect on their own experiences and the broader global narrative.

At the heart of my practice is a desire to bridge cultural divides, creating works that speak to both local and global audiences. I am particularly interested in how art can transcend geographical boundaries, bringing people together through shared human experiences. Whether through painting, digital art, or mixed media, my work is a continuous conversation with both the past and the future, the tangible and the intangible.

Throughout my career, I have been constantly evolving, learning from each new project and each new encounter with my audience. My work is never static; it grows and shifts in response to the world around me, pushing the boundaries of my creativity while remaining anchored in my core beliefs and values. Ultimately, I see my art as a journey—a way to explore the ever-changing landscape of human existence, both personal and collective.
