BIOGRAPHY

Fongwei Liu received his BFA degree from the prestigious Fine Art Academy of
Yunnan, China in 1994. For more than a decade after graduation, Fongwei has ventured
in various fields, but didn’t touched his paint brush. Until 2007, he finally realized that art
is his true passion, and resumed his art education in the United States. Fongwei received
his MFA degree from Academy of Art University, San Francisco in 2009.

Since 2010, Fongwei has been working as an art instructor at Academy of Art University.

Fongwei started his career as a professional artist in 2009. His works have been shown
in many exhibitions, such as Salon International by Greenhouse Gallery; National Juried
Exhibition of Traditional Oils by Oil Painters of America; Annual International Portrait
Competition by the Portrait Society of America; Great Impressionists – Masters of Fine
Art by Silvana Gallery; and Great American Figurative Artists Exhibition by Waterhouse
Gallery.


ARTIST STATEMENT

I draw inspirations for my art from nature. The subject matter is not important to me. I
enjoy capturing all the beauty around us, such as autumn colors, white snowy scenes,
foggy cities, people’s emotion, and the expressive human figures.

My creative process is also an intuitive response to the power of nature. When something
touches me, a picture takes shape in my mind and forms an idea or concept, then I
experiment with various techniques to visualize the idea. Thus, I believe that every stroke
in my paintings comes from my mind, flows through my hand to my canvas, that is my
language to tell stories.

As an artist, I incessantly improve my skills and make them become my second nature,
                              because I believe that better techniques produce better paintings.
