Patricia Teverig also said: "Ho's paintings hang in the homes of high-rise and royalty members around the world, and many people have been collecting his paintings for many years, and his paintings are always in short supply and do not meet the needs of collectors, who always wait patiently for his works." ”
The owner of a famous American gallery can have such a high evaluation of a Chinese painter, then He An's oil painting is indeed extraordinary, like fire and pure blue!
The oil painting "Twilight Return" on canvas depicts the back of a Western woman walking on a small wooden bridge with flowers in her hand, but the small wooden bridge in the background and the figure of a man riding a horse in the distance feel like a painter himself! He lived in the United States day and night, although he achieved fame and lived a rich life, he has always longed for the day when he can return to the embrace of the motherland!
"Like a Song Of Years", the woman in He An's pen, elegant and intellectual, has both a beautiful appearance and inner knowledge and cultivation!

In He An's paintings, there are many women in white, both Western style and oriental charm! He An said that those women in white were made for life, not because they wanted to paint! His cultural and emotional roots are still in the embrace of the motherland, in Guangzhou, in his former military career!
