Read MoreFanwei has a deep appreciation for the tactile qualities of paper and the flow of pigments on its surface. Following Fanwei's graduation from the Fine Arts program, Fanwei spent several years studying and working in the field of antique painting restoration. Through this experience, Fanwei discovered that nearly every type of pigment could be applied to paper, and Fanwei began experimenting with new materials to add depth and dimension to Fanwei's artwork. For instance, pastels create a delicate, shimmering effect, while the combination of ink and pigments can produce unexpected and intriguing results. What Fanwei particularly loves is the sensation of holding a brush or other tool in Fanwei's hand and feeling its movement across the paper's surface. The interplay between the ink or pigment, the texture of the tool, and the fibers of the paper create a subtle and intimate dialogue that Fanwei finds both captivating and inspiring.
