"I was born in a small town that the sea winds could never reach, and I lived on the snow-capped Tibetan Plateau. The first time I lay my eyes on the ocean it was like to pull back the curtain of my soul. The stunning curves of the coastline, the twinkling stars reflected on the dark water, a boat swaying with the breeze. It drives me from one dream to another. With great joy, I cannot stop myself from grabbing my paint brush and putting them to canvas. I want to share this joy with everyone who loves dreams."
