Artist Statement
This work is created by questioning: Do the layers of visions have an end? If so, what is in there?
The levels of consciousness, emotions and thoughts appear as the circles, they overlay on each other, forming an emptiness round circle in the middle of the painting, there is a “sea level" across all of them, this sea-level represent something peaceful which makes a contrast to the levels of "emotional circles".
I use high-quality watercolour pencils and paper so that the colour will be kept for more than 80 -100 years.
And this is a framed art piece, the material of the frame is aluminium, the back material of the frame is a high-quality acid paper board (it will not get mould easily), the colour of the frame is a white, the frame has elegant narrow sides (5mm thickness). The original size of the artwork without the frame is 54cm*39cm.

Artist Profile
Born: 1985
Hometown: Shanghai
Based in: Shanghai
I am an artist from Shanghai, China.
I studied in the Netherlands for an MFA.
My art research is about the relationship and the link between abstractive language, consciousness, emotion and desires, the balance of control and uncontrollable.
Below is my statement:
"In between reality and the illusion, I find the existence.
what is 'reality' and what is the 'dream'?
Through the paper, I vaguely see them on the other side of the world.
They are another kind of being, they are the other states of the "self"
The image of “I” was detached and dismembered, and changed into other shapes.
Their physical boundaries are blurred and mixed with each other,
Floating back and forth between reality and dreams.
All these images are created by the "self", and the "self" is a temporary format of the collection of everything.
As an interpretation of the state of self-existence and non-existence
I feel the power of the universe and nature. "
