If a painter is diligent in sketching in his daily life, then he must be very passionate about life. Wang Jiaxun believes that the natural flow of emotions in life is more important than information and imagination.
The practice of life has a decisive role in the painter's handling of the subject matter, and whether the subject matter is handled well or not depends on whether the life is expressed enough; the height of artistic skills depends on the depth of understanding life. Life is the source and foundation of all art.
