This is all about How I began the studio
I enjoy drawing and I have always made it my interests since the earliest memory. At 3 years old, I saw a train for a first time and I made a train drawing on the wall right away. The "train" was engraved on the wall till we moved to a city. The story of this "train" is always the cozy topic in the family. And later on, became the cozy topic between my daughter and me. I can not remember how I began to draw with the pencil, how I completed the huge project at such a kid age(my daddy still remember clearly it was about 6 meters long).
The train drawing was just the beginning. Soon our home was decorated with my "art" on the wall. Tractor,bicycle, boat, pig, duck, cat, anything you name it, could be found at our home. I am grateful my parents didn't blame me of damaging the wall with my naive art. My daddy worked in a rice-processing mill which became my own studio in the end. I drew a crane when I saw it on the way, and drew a big bird when an adult told me a story of a monster bird. You could imagine how happy it is for me to draw and paint anything on the wall in the dust-permeated room. It let my idea flew with the picture.
Then I went to primary school and we were taught how to write Chinese words. I was so impressed by the Chinese written words. To me, the words itself was the most beautiful art of the human civilization. I was supposed to memorize the meaning of each Chinese word, Instead, I was trying to write each word to look nicer. Later on, I began to learn Chinese Calligraphy and Chinese painting in brush pen.It helped a lot to my oil painting career because many of my oil paintings has Asian element.In the primary school,I was dreaming of becoming an painting artist, while most of my classmates wanted to be the scientist, inventor or policeman.
As a fine art major in college, I received comprehensive oil painting training with supportive effort from college art campaign. I primarily studied the impressionistic art and of course Claude Monet's art is my favorite in the copy learning and my style was hugely influenced by Monet's copies I practiced everyday in college. Later on, I was so enjoyed by the thick brush stroke texture that I began to learn to create and paint other subjects in impressionistic style. As the junior in college,I could paint and sell paintings to support my schooling and didn’t need to cut budget on material spending(paints, canvas, brush). I appreciated a businessman bought a lot of my paintings and resold in French. Therefore,Most of my early oil paintings should be found in French (if the painting owners didn't throw it away).
In 2000,I joined a gallery in Hong Kong and painted in that studio for 6 years. I mainly created trendy art and presented it to Fair worldwide. Meanwhile I also visited lots of art exhibitions. The exchange with other artists and the learning from other new art infused me new blood in my art.
I quit my decent job in the Hong Kong gallery as my art can not fully created and presented in my way. Art aesthete is rather personal. I could not paint only for the exhibition guests. With no agent and promoter, I had to meditate my future of selling my art to direct customers. To be honest, I was struggling to reach my art out to foreign customers(my art is more popular in Northern America, UK, France and Australia). The utilities in Hong Kong is quite a burden,it only made my ends meet.
On one occasion in 2006, I noticed an e-commence called ebay and the idea of selling art through internet is brilliant and indeed it is a place where we get most of our customers(of course I can not paint that many paintings, in 2009 I found this studio with other 5 artists and we all paint and sell on this ebaystore)
