Cui Jie

Fine Oil Painter

Born in 1976, Beijing, China.

Life is a wandering between dream and reality. In my pictures, I combine everyday objects with animals seen free in nature alongside rapid growing plants. I create a non-realistic space with conflict to express my desire of harmony between restrains and freedom, reality and dream, human and nature; the expression of modern meeting classic. I use grease paint as the media of my works. The quality of oil I use is like cheese in quality, giving me great joy with every stroke during the creating process. When you spend time with these paintings, each moment could be new. With timelessness, you can not only obtain the meaning of my work, but also enjoy the process of painting and the elegance of creation through each intricate stroke.
