Depiction：
"Domineering the World", the large oil painting in 12 meters, represents a
transformation in themes of my paintings over the past few years. I’ve been
brewing ideas about Genghis Khan after the painting "Princess Wencheng"
finished last year. Most of my works were about the earthy nostalgia and the
Tibetan charms. This is my first time in painting such a significant historical figure,
which requires not only a well understanding of the history context, but also the
ability to master the overall presentation! Shifting from the Tibetan to Mongolian
themes is a brand-new field for me, an attempt and more a trial !
After determining my creative intent, I decided to visit some museums and the
related historical sites, to gather further detailed historical materials for a better
implementation of my creative plan, in hopes of provoking some inspiration
for my painting. Over a month, this journey has truly broadened my horizons,
enriched my knowledge, and further established my creative direction and stylistic
positioning. Especially visiting various places in Inner Mongolia, I personally
experienced the valiant spiritual core and cultural tension of the nomadic people,
a different kind of spiritual feast.Fights and killings are powerful genes flowing
deep in the blood of the Mongolian people, a kind of iron-willed spirit of bravery
and fearlessness in seeking for survival, a soul belief given to the nomadic people
by the Immortal God.
