The composition of my paintings express the combination of my various feelings and memories about Shanghai.

Shanghai Memories

Shanghai is a very touching city. You can immediately feel the energy from the city and from its people, always on the move. You can see the contrast between the recent modernity of the city centre and the traditional character of the water towns in its neighbourhood. Most of all, you can feel the contrast between the gigantism of the metropolis and the human touch present on every corner, whether in the refinement of ancient architecture or in the details of everyday life.

The composition of my paintings express the combination of my various feelings and memories about Shanghai.

I have superposed different impressions, playing with different architectural styles and small details of its inhabitants' daily lives.
