I create, I imagine, I inspire.
Born and raised on the Loess Plateau in Northwestern China, Allen developed an appreciation for nature and an innate love for art from an early age. His childhood "doodles" would often fill the entire backyard and even spill into the house.
As he grew older, he explored a range of artistic practices, from traditional Chinese ink painting to technical pencil drawings, and later, landscape watercolor painting. After moving abroad in 2018, Allen discovered a deep affinity for oil painting, drawn to the medium' rich colors and expressive techniques.
Today, oil painting serves as the primary medium for Allen's creations. His work is often inspired by the beauty of nature–flowers, waterfalls, and mountains–and seeks to evoke feelings of serenity, joy, and a sense of reconnection with nature. His use of bright colors and bold strokes invites viewers to immerse themselves in the landscapes he portrays.
