Their unwavering optimism, all-encompassing and peaceful way of life, are in extreme contrast with the psychological states of modern city dwellers. In my works of life on the Tibetan Plateau, I focus more on movement, so as to convey the beauty of extreme tension and moments of life. When I was in Tibet, I spent a lot of my time lying down in the grass, as I suffered from acute mountain sickness. As I lay there gasping for air, a delightful picture revealed itself before me: a couple of young, spry Tibetan girls racing about the countryside with their herd of yaks. These Tibetan girls reminded me of 'Feitian', the flying Devi (literally: 'goddess')*, when they are still earthly beings. The fairy tale relationship between man and yak, also called "ship of the plateau", came to life right before my eyes. In my series of paintings on the Tibetan plateau, I try to convey the unique psychological journey I experienced during this time. Similarly, these feelings surfaced through long periods of "observing and reflecting". This dream-like state has in turn added a romantic dimension to my works, which can be seen in paintings such as "Sun in a Distant Place" and "Towards the Sun". By applying surrealistic elements the transfer of images can be fully articulated.
