Realism, abstractism and design are all fused into the creations of painted or blue-and-white porcelain; By employing and blending new techniques of blue-spraying and glaze-stacking, traditional Chinese painting is represented in a cleverly ingenious style, presented with a more modern flow. The artistic works channels the mood of a painting in the form of a piece of porcelain.
