Features: Mr. Lu Yifei adopts the techniques of "changing scenes by moving steps" and "cropping and combining" to sketch landscapes. He is not confined to the real mountains and waters before him but recombines them based on his observations and the composition principles of Chinese painting. As a result, Mr. Lu Yifei's landscape sketches are no longer the original mountains and waters in the conventional sense. His sketches "originate from life" yet "transcend life." When viewing Mr. Lu Yifei's landscape paintings, it is evident that every mountain has its origin, and every body of water has its source.
