Meet the Artist
Emma

“I come from Suzhou, ChinaI have been interested in art since I was young. I began to learn drawing from 5 years old and laid a solid foundation for painting. I learned Chinese painting and oil painting in junior high school and won awards in many competitions. After high school, I started learning design. This exercised my imagination and willpower and gave me great interest.”

The effects of all my works have met my expectations. They are very abstract, but clearly express what I want to express. A lot of the patterns I draw are simple, yet very impressive. In terms of color, I boldly adopted a lot of seemingly unharmonious contrasting colors to express my inner contradictions, dissatisfaction, and my desire to fight. I think it is very important that the audience can understand what I want to express after seeing my work.
