Under the elm Painting

I started painting at the age of 4 years in China, my country of birth. My grandfather, painter and general artist in the Chinese army, was Comrade Mao. He did a lot of propaganda paints it, he now has 98. My grandmother was calligraphy. So I was influenced from an early age. In 1994, I entered high school specializing in Plastic Arts in Zhengzhou in China. In 1997, I was admitted to the Zhongzhou University dicipline "Visual Arts". I arrived in France in 1999. In 2000, I passed the entrance examination to the School of Fine Art in Paris, Toulon, Marseille and Aix. Finally, I chose Aix. In 2005, I obtained a license for Fine Arts at the University Aix-Marseille I. In 2008 a state diploma in computer graphics and layout. For 17 years I've lived in Aix-en-Provence. I am married to someone in the area and we have a little boy nearly 5 years and 8 months. I work from personal photos taken during walks or trips. My favorite subjects are the countryside and the coast, as you may have noticed on my blog. Sometimes I try myself to other subjects: portraits, still lifes or more abstract things.
