The artist that I really respect and learned loads of practical techniques from is Richard Diebenkorn. Looking at some of his works, such as interior with Doorway (1962) (Richard Diebenkorn, "Interior with Doorway" (1962) | PAFA - Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts) I displayed above. Inside the doorway" shows the view of Diebenkorn's studio, where we can see the sunny streets of Berkeley mountain in the distance. Although many of his indoor scenes are a person sitting on a chair, we only see an empty chair here, which makes the sadness of this work more intense. After absorbing the method and style of Richard Diebenkorn, I started to use different materials to depict the buildings with a cold and dark atmosphere. I didn’t endow any of the emotion for my work that used to have in my work, instead, the colours and the natural elements of the building spontaneously reflected the content that I want to share. In this regard, I found out that this painting form indeed gives people an intense visual difference, which means people will understand the content of the paintings according to their understanding of the colour and the relevant materials that I used.

INGLESIDE II of Richard Diebenkorn has brought brimming with vigour and vitality for the audience and created a warm and harmonious scene of the town. Here we do not see the coldness and sadness of society; the surrounding green vegetation and quiet houses give freedom and vitality to the painting.
