Artist Statement
My signature style features colorful vector illustrations, characterized by shifting lines, vibrant colors, sophisticated compositions, and rich textures. Given my focus on policy-related illustrations in my daily work, my style excels in visually conveying policies through illustrations. I enjoy creating illustrations in the aerospace field and continuously incorporate Chinese elements and clean lines into my work. I am constantly exploring and refining my skills in the field of illustration, steadily realizing my own value.
