Caesar in Rise of the Planet of the Apes


Artist Statement

Several years ago, I got the patent certificate of Yin Yang woodcarving in China although I am Norwegian Chinese. I am grateful to the state for its recognition of my art talent.

For me, woodcarving is not just an art form, but a sacred communion with the every soul of the tree. I believe that wood is alive and with woodcarvings, it will stay alive forever, as a testament to the beauty of life.

Through the interplay of light and shadow, my Yin Yang woodcarvings are a window into the mysterious workings of the universe, where everything is connected in a grand tapestry of life. Each stroke is a dance, a delicate balance between my vision and the natural patterns of the woods grain. Painting the figures in the woodcarving is the most challenging part, requiring skill and precision to create the small but prominent points that bring each piece to life. Each detail, no matter how small, plays a crucial role in the authenticity of the final product.

With a deep reverence for the fusion of Chinese and Western cultures, I believe that woodcarving is the perfect embodiment of this cultural exchange. The art captures the essence of both worlds, merging the traditional with the contemporary.

For me, my artwork is not just a business but a legacy I want to leave behind. A legacy of art that brings joy and warmth to peoples lives evokes emotions and tells stories. Each of my creations is a testament to my passion and love for the craft, and I am honoured to share it with the world.
