Some were collected by museums in different countries over the world. Graduated from Polytechnic University: 1984 in graphic design and 1988 in illustration courses After learning Chinese cursive calligraphy, I loved the Tai Chi aesthetics and Chinese culture art more, determined to blend of Chinese and Western aesthetics to find a new style in Art.
