Because I was born in an artist family, my father, my elders, brothers and sisters are engaged in art work. So when I was very young, I knew that I would become an art practitioner, and jewelry was one of my favorite directions, so I finally became a jewelry designer.
My studio was founded in 2012. At first, as a hobby of mine, I didn't really put it in a very important position. Until my works got a lot of attention at the Basel Jewelry Show, I took jewelry design as a very important direction of my career. My studio is now dominated by high standards. All the designs are created by myself. There are ten people in my team.
Designers have a very light concentration of knowledge expression, it is like poetry in language, it is the essence and refinement, so I always like to express what I want to say the most, condensed into a work.
Every age has my favorite designer and style of work, so as I grow older and more experienced, I am more and more inclined to simple, but powerful and deep works.
Every era, every region has its own culture. Standpoint and expression, so I like very fraternal, I like all good design, because it condenses human wisdom. Different wisdom and perception of the world, as well as emotional expression works, will have different charm.
My first work was a magnolia necklace. Of course, he also let a lot of people know one of my works, which was invited to attend the Baseworld in Switzerland.
I prefer 3D printing and the design of titanium metal. I think this may represent a direction of future development and trend.
When I'm half asleep, I always have some different ideas.
I am more concerned about whether the work has jumped out of the original logic of thinking to challenge some new combinations and expressions.
I try to mix emotional and rational emotions.
I will put it in place, because sometimes passion, creative design. When you look back at it for a while, you will find many of his problems.
Constant practice, pushing down in the construction of pushing down the constant failure, and ultimately to success
It depends on whether it makes me feel interesting or not.
Life is not what people want for everyone. But a good design will make you forget this annoyance for a short time. It will make you feel comfortable and everything goes smoothly.
Design is actually innovation, creating things that are not available in the world. He will make the world and future of human fantasy come true as soon as possible.
The last exhibition was Beijing jewelry exhibition. At the latest jewelry exhibition, I will be at the COUTURE SHOW in Las Vegas, United States.
My inspiration comes from dreams. I often dream of unreasonable scenes, but I will imagine it and realize it.
I hope to be able to make future works with a sense of retro. The design method is to stand in the perspective of future people, look at the traditional content, and express it in the future way.
I mainly live in China. Chinese culture has thousands of years of history, so there is no doubt that it has a profound impact on my design and thinking. So far, I haven't come into contact with his bad points. It's all good for me.
You can learn from it, but do not copy it.
