Born in 1981, Jifeng Mao developed a deep passion for art, particularly drawn to the intricate world of textural oil painting during his early years. Choosing to pursue his artistic inclinations academically, he specialised in oil painting theory, material application, and wall decoration design. Jifeng's journey led him to Germany and France, where his unique approach to modern art design garnered him a devoted European audience. Jifeng’s art pieces are inspired by personalities and characters, he often sees his art as an extension and interpretation of the natural world. Preferring solitude, he retreats to quiet spaces to visualise characters and bring them to life through his art. Utilising fabrications, textures, and a vibrant color palette, Jifeng's creations aim not just for visual impact but also a palpable emotional connection. Jifeng Mao's artistic philosophy is a fusion of technique and emotion, creating a bridge between his inspiration and the observer. His unique blend ensures that his art is not just seen but felt, promising a lasting impact on those who engage with his work.
Inspired by the poetic ebb and flow of life, the Ballad Painting stands as a testament to the beauty found in imperfection. With its white abstract canvas, it evokes a sense of serene tranquility, but look closer, and the elevations, cracks, and purposeful blemishes tell a deeper story.
These features are reminiscent of the wabi-sabi philosophy, where flaws and irregularities are celebrated as intrinsic facets of life's rhythm. Crafted meticulously through a blend of hand and print techniques, each rendition of the Ballad Painting is not just another piece but a unique narrative, ensuring that no two are ever truly alike.
