Artwork Description
Artist Bio
I am XiaoJian Yang, a dedicated scholar and passionate fine artist whose journey has been defined by a relentless pursuit of academic excellence and a profound love for creative expression. Armed with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the esteemed Sichuan Fine Arts Institute, my academic foundation has propelled me into a career marked by notable scholarly achievements and a deep-seated commitment to the artistry that fuels my soul.
As an associate professor of fine arts at Xihua University, I have had the privilege of imparting my knowledge and expertise to aspiring artists, guiding them through subjects like 'Perspective and Anatomy in Art' and 'Expressive Drawing.' Beyond the confines of the classroom, my extensive research endeavors have unearthed invaluable insights into painting techniques and principles, illuminating the intricate interplay between form and emotion.
Yet, amidst my academic pursuits, my true passion lies in the world of fine art. From vibrant oil paintings to delicate sketches, each stroke of my brush reflects a profound reverence for the beauty and complexity of life. Through my art, I invite viewers to embark on a journey of self-discovery, igniting a deep appreciation for the transformative power of visual expression.
