Lifang draws both still life and figures with her unique style, and is interested in abstract structure and subjective colors, as well as the ancient history and traditional culture of her country, which are shown in most of her works. Her work combines western modern art with traditional oriental art, because she loves not only Chinese traditional art, but western modern art as well. She pays special attention to aesthetics, and you can find that her works always show the spirit of aestheticism.
Lifang Yao does not have any upcoming events scheduled at this time.
