What does painting animals mean to you
How important is movement in your work
I like painting different subjects not just animals, but I am painting a lot of them because I love animals, they bring this world more vitality, also animals show the onlooker the condition of the world. It is so rare to see them around now. You may feel cold and sad If you land on a planet which only have one kind of creature with their machines, so painting animals is a carrier to share my mind and momentos.
I think movement shows life energy. It is important to create illusion.
Tell us a little about your video work My video work is from special times that I saved on my camera - in fact, I edited photos into video. I give each photo time to show how it can turn into different lineaments, it is about light, we can see one thing have different lineaments, because the light changed, but each photo is based on a story line to connect to each other, so each video has a story.
Tell us about your use of symbolism The different symbols that I use are based on the subject which I paint. The eye in the pyramid I painted in U.S, the work called ‘Imperial Blind’ - the image is a Chinese blind dragon chasing the eye in pyramid symbol. I also like use third eyes, I think it is a sealed window for creatures.
