“In order to find new painting language and inspiration, I have been to Tibet many times. Passing by the sources of the Yellow River and Yangtze River, Qaidam, Ali, Mount Everest, Naqu, Maqu, Luqu and Xiahe … I had the good fortune to encounter Tibet and the local people closely. The pure and profound, vigorous and boundless Tibet and the simple and honest, fervent and valiant Tibetans shocked me so deeply – that’s a mysterious never-never land. I try to move closer, but it is always in the distance and full of change, loss and eternity… it has become my immortal spiritual home…”
