I feel my way with great care, like treading on thin ice, and pursue my dream. I am afraid of losing myself between carving and moulding so I am a “coward” in this field. The skills I learned at the academy can never be abandoned and I feel very proud of that. Different popular trends of thought interest me immensely and I like to visit art exhibitions everywhere. I also like to read many different magazines. Feeling very lucky to be born in this good time. I imagine myself to an obstinate and conceited person. Yet I still stick to the “old-fashioned” artistic style even in this rich and colorful age wanting earnestly to make my works more attractive. In fact within my cognitive scope, I have been trying hard to add some new elements in my works. But I am afraid of going too fast and falling down and losing my direction. Luckily I have an energetic body and strong passion for art. I also have some supportive friends around me. They make me do things I like quietly in this tumultuous time.

There is a view held by me that what I have done cannot be completely expressed by language and word for, it seems, art is a kind of belief, a life style and an expression. As an expression, there is no substitution. But my love for it can only be expressed in words although words do not explain it….

I admire the following conversation which, it is said, occurred between Picasso and a neighbour.
P: Have you ever heard a bird singing?
N: Yes, I have
P: Was it good?
N: Yes, it was good
P: Did you understand the meaning of it?
N: ……

“Art is born to be a mute and he has to find other way to express himself ” (Second Hand Rose, a famous Chinese rock band). The charm of art lies in its uncertainty and you can not describe it. The famous Chinese artist Xia Xiaowan said: “So long as you believe it, art exists.” Art is different in everyone’s mind. I believe in it and I have my heart set on it. I need to work hard to discover it and create it. Only in that way it can belong to you. Creation brings happiness to me. Although I have to go through ordeal and spend many sleepless night in creating works, the joy of success when I finish my sculptures makes me forget everything . It also proves my value.

It has been 2 years since I graduated from the Central Academy of Fine Arts although I always feel that I am still a student and hope that I can be more knowledgeable. The world is a great place and full of wonderful things. Before art, I am always humble. I think I am an ambitious man. I don’t want to change things and only wish to leave some marks on my artistic road. I must not let my youth slip idly by and I think will continue to pursue my dream with a happy mind.
