About Me

My practice is a spiritual and moral commitment to realism, rooted in the belief that beauty is a reflection of the divine. Guided by Plotinus’s view that the "soul’s becoming something beautiful is becoming like God," I utilize the precision of oil painting to communicate truth with honesty and clarity. Unlike purely logical pursuits, my art integrates technical discipline with spiritual intention, treating every brushstroke as an act of service.
Inspired by the humble devotion of Michelangelo’s later years and historian Sima Qian’s pursuit of the relationship between Heaven and Humanity, I view the artist as a responsible recorder of hope. Each masterwork is designed to bring lasting comfort and hope into private and public collections, serving as a timeless vessel for beauty. Beyond my studio practice, I am also dedicated to my role as an educator, mentoring the next generation of artists in the belief that technical skill is inseparable from moral awareness. Ultimately, my goal is to create work that offers comfort and harmony, serving as a vessel for love in a complex world.
