From elementary school to now, they have always been around me, the one thing that
never leaves me are cats. As I grew up,
environment, hobbies, and perceptions are constantly changing. However the only
thing that hasn't changed is my love for cats and the desire to depict the passion of cats. Cats are beloved creatures all over
the world, and the cat in my works has been by my side for more than 10 years. He is the "cat" which I have seen with my
own eyes, and also the "cat" that I experienced firsthand. Through oil
painting, I express the interaction between this cat and me. At the same time, I also want to inject the love and emotion that I have cultivated over many years into it. Drawing on canvas with the presence of a
"cat" which I gaze at more deeply than anyone else.
