We often say that painting is an outpouring of a painter's true feelings, and only when we are moved by real natural objects (real natural objects include living and inanimate entities, as well as traces left by thousands of years of history), can we obtain the impulse and inspiration to create, and can we also paint works that touch people's hearts.

Every time I lift my pen to paint coal miners, their optimistic and tenacious mental state, their rough and frank personalities, the open state of mind shown in the face of hard work and single life... It will jump right in front of my eyes. In the pitch-black thousand-foot well, at the low coal mining head, I also worked with everyone as a member of the coal miner to pick up coal, drag the gangue, put on the top, bracket, wear sweaty kiln clothes, and work in the dark of the coal dust. This real life experience has been influencing me for many years and driving my desire to create. Coal miners want to see more works of art that express their positive state of existence and are sunny. And this is the most fundamental sense of creation when I have been drawing coal miners' works for decades.

Immersed in a changeable ideal world, to all kinds of possibilities, through their own subjective consciousness to describe... I thought that in the painter's sensory world, the keen judgment of the individual consciousness determined the expression of formal language. Form, therefore, is not an order. Because in the face of a rich and colorful life, the expressive space of formal language is also rich and vast, with unlimited possibilities.

When talking about painting with friends, we always talk about personal style, and I think style should be the process of shaping the artist's personal art. In an objective and changeable world, people's way of thinking will not be static, and those who try to be supernatural and independent, and always want to perform miracles early, often only damage the real and simple natural emotions. I strongly agree with one painter's words: "Forming a mindset prematurely is not of much benefit to the development of the painter." ”

When a new work is completed, there are always some regrets left. Creation is like this, telling you to do some reflection in regret, and consciously look for places where you can work hard to improve. The most fundamental point of artistic accomplishment is to feel life with your heart, and then go deep into life, in order to show the most authentic side of life. What is truth, goodness and beauty, and what is the fundamental interests of the people, can only be experienced and identified by going deep into life in a down-to-earth manner.
