male, born in 1966, is a native of Anshan, Liaoning province.Song has developed a strong interest in painting and wanted to be an artist since his youth.

Since 1995, his works have already shown a relatively distinct style. From 1996 to 2000, Song, after profound exploration and research in art, finally found an integrated approach which was solidly based in the eminent tradition of the East and the Modern Realist School of coloring and modeling. During the exhibitions held in Hong Kong, Southeast Asia and mainland China, Song’s works caught the attention of the art circles and collectors.

His coloring is superb and his strokes are delicate and multifarious. With the use of complex ink-and-wash and coloring, his elegant works all contain strong Oriental flavor.
