Professional painter Han Jinzhou is a caring and innovative painter. His oil paintings have always paid attention to the living conditions of ordinary people, such as the migrant worker series, the anti-epidemic character series, etc., closely following the pace of the times; his characters are written quickly, and in just ten seconds, he can outline the facial and head features of the characters with simple lines, which is deeply liked by the public. He is also deeply nostalgic for traditional Chinese culture, such as his oil painting blue and white series "Memories", which truly reproduces the charm of Chinese culture.

From his creative self-narration, we can feel his memory and love for traditional Chinese culture: I was born and raised in an ancient mansion by the Han River in Wuhan, and I used to play under the tall and spacious doorposts and cornerstones built by the big bluestone as a child, and whenever I pushed open the old sandwood doors lined with carved flowers, the old blue and white altars placed left and right in the old incense cabinet in the middle hall would always make me look at it, that is, since then I have liked the old blue and white flowers, and from time to time I have been immersed in painting under the guidance of my father...

In the blink of an eye, decades have passed, and the old blue flower still stands quietly on the old chair cabinet, although the scratches are everywhere, it can't stop its culture and my attachment.

Over the years, when creating oil paintings such as the Migrant Worker Series, I have not forgotten to look back at them more, and the memories of my childhood are still faintly presented in front of my eyes, and the blue and white flowers still follow the shadows and linger, so there is my "Memory" blue and white series of oil paintings.
