People in everyday life leave traces of their activities. I like to use portraits to capture these traces and details. The portraits represent not only the look and appearance of the subjects, but also communicate layers of meaning. Different viewers will have different feelings about it and interact with it in a different way so that it reflects their own everyday life. These are the elements and the significance that I want my paintings to convey to viewers.
