Features: Regarding classical themes, I often practice and create repeatedly. The author enjoys painting the ancient scholars they admire in their hearts, often depicting their portraits and illustrating their poems. The creative themes I have produced are also excellent learning methods for practicing shaping images and pursuing brushwork styles. I am not a painter who specializes in ancient themes, nor do I have a mature style to present to society. However, the charm and essence of figures in ancient themes deeply captivate me.
The range of themes covered in figure painting is very broad: ancient scholars, historical stories, poetic illustrations of Tang and Song Dynasty verses, and so on. Another category is figure painting depicting modern life, such as the creation of revolutionary leaders, portraits of modern celebrities, military history paintings, revolutionary history paintings, and folk paintings of modern people's lives, and so on. The author focuses on researching folk paintings of the lives of China's ethnic minorities. Because China is a multi-ethnic family, the fifty-six ethnic groups work together to strive for the construction and prosperity of the motherland.
