Henry Cao

As a portrait and figurative artist, I pursue the discovery of art. My paintings try to express the beauty and soul in my portrait and figurative artworks. Using color variations, radical brushstrokes to support the subject of art, depicting how people feel living in society, expressing the inner world. I envision trying to capture the personality of the person, creating the essence of art in my work.
