About the artwork
This work continues in style with my style of block handling. But this block processing is more dynamic and jumping. Because I’m no longer just horizontal and vertical segmentation; I added diagonal and multiform. This makes the vision jump. The processing colour of the strong and light, thick and thin giving more prominent facial and hand visual feelings.Whether the painting is good or bad. Its main function is to entertain oneself and the audience.
About the sitter

Behind the scenes
Portrait paintings and paintings of other subjects seem to have no special meaning. Expressiveness is not as high as photographs, and the sense of record is not as good as the film.
