Born and raised in the Loess Plateau, she inherited the industrious and kind character of her predecessors, and she always believed that a painter should have the feeling of "truth, goodness and beauty" to have the most basic support for building ideas, and the grinding of life also laid the foundation for her perseverance and flexibility. While studying Western painting, she has never forgotten the nourishment of national traditional culture, her Chinese painting works are widely involved, the sense of form is strong, the character painting is particularly rigorous in the theme portrayal, "pen and ink should be contemporary", she observes the world with her own vision, perceives people's joys and sorrows, and diligently seeks, thinks, feels, and constantly tries again, she knows that art comes from life, and is higher than life, and finally returns to the philosophy of life, she focuses her gaze on the daily life of the people, Expressing their joys and sorrows is her mission in this life, her composition is rigorous, the writing is thick and fine, the ink is bold, the ink is full of charm, the literati and inkers, ordinary people are so natural and kind in her pen, just like a poem with ups and downs, there are ups and downs and rhythms, so that the viewer stops to reflect and lingers.
She firmly believes that "inheritance and development" is the only way to move forward, so she reached out to the tradition with one hand, paid attention to copying and strengthening theoretical knowledge, experienced the interest of pen and ink through a large number of copying, and at the same time combined with the context of the times, with line modeling, to convey god in form, and strive to achieve the best effect of "both form and god", she firmly believes that only by continuous tempering can she achieve achievements in character painting, especially in this era of "speaking with works", she knows that pen and ink test the personality, cultivation, and cultivation of an artist. The comprehensive quality of culture and even philosophy and other aspects is only the most powerful proof if it is perfectly embodied.
Chinese painting pays attention to "foreign teacher creation, the source of the heart", each painting from the theme to the composition to every place of the pen, ink color weight have been carefully conceived, dissatisfied with the repeated study, her subject matter is mostly derived from the most real character archetypes or photos, in the choice of subject matter, usually choose to impress people's hearts as material, when painting them, she first observes, ponders, when feeling that she has approached the character, when resonating in the depths of the soul, she began to write, this process from the idea to the rise of the chinese understanding of the character And then to the treatment of pen and ink have been carefully considered, she pays more attention to the portrayal of the character's heart, she has a happy and lovely child; there are old people who have experienced vicissitudes; there are literati inkers in the background of the times; she uses a sincere heart, with full of true feelings to create images of them at the same time, but also explores human nature, so her works are full of humanistic simple ideas, and one after another vivid images are directly hitting the hearts of the viewers.
A branch and a leaf are always concerned, and a stroke and an ink are clean. In today's society, under the premise that material and cultural life has been improved, people's spiritual and cultural life is more prominent, how to make continuous progress on the road of calligraphy and painting in the future, I believe that in the theme creation of truth, goodness and beauty and artistic practice, she will definitely find the correct positioning, further sublimate ideological understanding, and make life more valuable, more exciting and more meaningful.
All this stems from the persistent, deep love in my heart.
I love, so I am.
