Book Review-1001 Paintings You Must See Before You Die

1001 Paintings You Must See Before You Die
    When I was in high school, my art teacher highly recommended Stephen Farthing’s 1001Paintings You Must See Before You Die. It was provided a wide range of seeing and depth of artistic way of thinking.
This book also made me feel I walked into the galleries. It was inspired me get some great ideas and helped artistic skills. It enriched my artwork style, understanding of art history, and art knowledge. In the future, if someone thinking to become an artist I would highly recommend this book* ^_______________^*

The East Meets The West-②


 This is a second verison of the concept of "The East Meets The West" for symbolise the fusion of Eastern and Western cultures, a melting pot of peoples, their traditions and styles, and their ways of living past century.
Ideas for this piece evolved from photographs taken from my travels as well as media such as movie, news, book and internet. My albums are an amalgam of traditionally Oriental scenes and Western images which is featuring the cultural diversity.

 Stunning young women representing various countries, proudly wear their national costumes and embody a community spirit of peace and goodwill. Travel magazines and television shows also capture famous historical landmarks, national architecture and the culture and traditions of various world destinations.
