Statement:

My art practice is professionally contemporary stone and bronze sculptures.

In art we need to transfer the traditional materials and culture resources to explore contemporary art to reflect our civilization.

The ideas of my artwork came from my mind as human dream.

My work also investigates the act of making a representation of something directly from life, and what I seen from observation of the natural human and richness environment.

I use different materials in my artwork but the stone and bronze materials are my favorite because these materials have deep roots in history of art, also both they have high technique and skills, easily we can get our target in art to transfer these traditional materials with strong messages to contemporary art to continue building the contemporary human civilization.
