His artwork focuses on figurative painting involving nudity and women’s body. He is good at using different colors with detailed painting skills and combining different objects in the painting, using their symbolic meaning in response to humanity and philosophy of life. Since the use of symbolic elements cooperating with his creative surreal painting style, I believe the audience would have to gaze on the piece for a long time trying to understand and analyze its heavy meaning. It is inspiring.
