Artist Zheng: Children are my best painting teachers.

Zheng, an American painter, was born in Taiwan Province and grew up in Taiwan Province, but he was the cultural and artistic ambassador of six consecutive American presidents. Her works are exhibited in 13 American embassies, and she is also the record holder of the largest single oil painting created by an individual in the world. Zheng is good at producing a unique linear texture by scraping off oil paints, which is inspired by the most familiar and extraordinary role of you and me-mother.

Standing in front of Zheng's paintings, it's hard not to be drawn by the smooth lines in the paintings.

She uses sometimes dense and sometimes rough lines to create depth and uplift in the picture. Whether it's the majestic mountains and ridges, the ripples in the sea of Wang Yang, or even the flames sweeping the sky, Zheng can tell her admiration for nature with skillfully woven lines.

Entering Zheng's home in Yangming Mountain, the yard is surrounded by green hills and lush flowers and plants. Sharp-eyed, you can recognize that Tricolor Cup and Clivia are both charming guests in her original flower-shaped frame work "Flower Series". "Where I live, there must be nature. Watching the sunshine pour into the living room from a large French window, Zheng remembered her hometown where she grew up as a child. Farming at home and running in the fields is her happiest time, and drying the fields with porcelain everywhere is her vivid childhood memory. " Those porcelains have dried up by thousands, and the repeated patterns are infinitely extended. The only change is light and shadow from morning till night. 」

Zheng's family is her artistic enlightenment. Her mother painted flowers on the porcelain of the kiln factory, and her father's handwriting was good. Although my father dropped out of school after the war, he didn't write well until he graduated from junior high school. He published textbooks and opened a bookstore in the town. "He thinks culture and education are very important. My home is where every child in Ying Ge Primary School reports after class. Talking about her father, she has pride and contradiction on her face.

The bookstore is her home, so Zheng has read all the famous Chinese and foreign books since she was a child, and she also has paper and pens to draw. Although she won numerous awards in various painting competitions, her traditional father did not approve of her artistic path. "He said that she would only paint billboards and posters, and would not eat them. Zheng, who is naturally rebellious, has never obtained his father's approval to go to the United States from the Art College to obtain a double master's degree in art, and his father and daughter have not even spoken for three years. " I want to thank my father for his disapproval and let me go upstream. Without his original opposition, there would be no me now. 」
