Yisong Liu is a contemporary artist from China, deeply connected to the world of painting since childhood. Known for their ability to create works that resonate with moments of joy and clarity, Yisong views painting as a spiritual sanctuary—a deeply personal space for exploration and expression. However, the inevitable distractions of daily life often limit their artistic output. While Yisong cherishes many of their creations, they are content knowing that only a few will truly understand and connect with their work, believing that genuine appreciation reveals a kindred spirit.
To Yisong, painting stands apart from other forms of expression. They believe that the language of painting and the language of writing belong to distinct systems, each with its own beauty and mystery. While the ancient Chinese notion that “there are paintings in poetry, and there are poems in paintings” holds some truth, Yisong views painting as a unique art form that cannot be fully explained or translated through words. For them, the true essence of painting is reserved for those with pure eyes and sensitive souls.
