ASIAN MONA LISA

 
From 2005 I started a project called Asian Mona Lisa. The idea of this project was a study about how to paint a portrait. I never do woman portraits before, so this, for me, was a new way and a new motivation to paint. I wanted find models for my portrait so I decide to find some models through internet. I chose some web pages where many women try to find a boyfriend. I selected many photos, these photos were the own portraits made by lonely woman who was looking for an unknown happiness. Seeing the photos I tried to feel how that woman was, what the feelings was and how to show the feeling in the portraits I would do.
The source of my inspiration was from inernet web pages, so I decided to make the portrait only using computer drawing programs. In the followingyear I did almost 150 portraits. All these portraits were published in my weblog and everybody can download and use like desktop image or as what they want. Also I made a video called Asian Mona Lisa or In the mood of love. This video is a kind review about all dreams of love feelings. Right now, 2008 , I started again thinking about this project. Many Chinese Contemporary Artists, work with woman portrait, thereby I thought that will be a nice show to Chinese people through my point of view about how to do a woman portrait, talk about the feelings of the beauties…
Many of these pictures and draws have been already showed in Galleries in Spain and in art fairs around the world, also published in some main magazines in Spain.

 

亚洲蒙娜丽莎项目

 

2005年我开始了一个项目叫做亚洲蒙娜丽莎。这个项目的想法是学习怎样绘画肖像。以前我从没有画过女士肖像,所以这次的学习,对我来说也是以一个新的方式和新的动力来绘画。我想寻找几个肖像模特,最后我决定从网络上寻找她们。我选择了几个女孩子经常试着寻找男朋友的网站。我挑选了一些照片,这些照片正是那些孤单的女士们为了寻觅不可知的幸福所自拍的。看着这些照片,我试图去想象她们是怎样的人,她们的感情是怎样的,然后我将怎样把她们的爱的感受融进她们的肖像中。
因为灵感的源泉来自于网络,所以我决定只用电脑素描绘画系统来制作这些肖像。接下来的一年我制作了大概150个肖像。我把她们发表在我的网络日记上,每个人都可以下载她们,可以作为电脑桌面或随下载人所愿。当然我也做了一个视频影像,叫做《亚洲蒙娜丽莎》或是《花样年华》。这是所有对爱之梦的一个影像回顾。
现在,2008年,我又重新思考了这个项目。好多当代的中国画家都在画着女士 肖像,因此我想这应该是一个很好的展览,向中国的观众来展示我是怎样绘画女士肖像和怎样描述这种美丽的感觉的。
大多数的这些肖像画或是素描画都已经在西班牙的画廊和全世界的艺术节上展出过,也在西班牙的一些主流的杂志上发表过。
