Many of my works have been collected by collectors and entrepreneurs at home and abroad.
It can be seen that every time you put down the pen, the direction is clear, or running, or dignified, or point, or thrown, showing the vigorous feelings of the painter when painting. The transition between light and dark in the work is subtle, without revealing the traces of stiff brushstrokes, showing an elegant, soft, stable, thick and full beauty. The depiction between pen and ink is realistic, creating a rich texture effect, while also having a certain transparency and attractive luster.
