We are in a novel, tell us a story ?
« When I paint New York, it’s like a featuring, there is always a story line, as a FEDEX truck in my New York paintings, when people would see my litlle fedex truck, it fitures my identity, and people identify me better and unables me to be quite different from other artists. »
What would you like others to say as seeing your paintings in the future century ?
« I would like others to feel the deepness and the profond soul in my art, considaring my portraits I would like them to have a certain personality, and considaring women and beauty, sensuality.
