Born in 1981, Jifeng Mao developed a deep passion for art, particularly drawn to the intricate world of textural oil painting during his early years. Choosing to pursue his artistic inclinations academically, he specialised in oil painting theory, material application, and wall decoration design. Jifeng's journey led him to Germany and France, where his unique approach to modern art design garnered him a devoted European audience. Jifeng’s art pieces are inspired by personalities and characters, he often sees his art as an extension and interpretation of the natural world. Preferring solitude, he retreats to quiet spaces to visualise characters and bring them to life through his art. Utilising fabrications, textures, and a vibrant color palette, Jifeng's creations aim not just for visual impact but also a palpable emotional connection. Jifeng Mao's artistic philosophy is a fusion of technique and emotion, creating a bridge between his inspiration and the observer. His unique blend ensures that his art is not just seen but felt, promising a lasting impact on those who engage with his work.
The Odyssey Painting is a captivating piece of abstract art that encapsulates the essence of both perfection and ambiguity. The canvas is a mesmerizing blend of muted and neutral tones—shades of grey, soft whites, deep blacks, and subtle hints of beige that come together to create a soothing visual experience.
These colors serve as a backdrop to the painting's most intriguing element: a circle on one side of the canvas, painted in varying shades of grey. This circle is not defined by precise, clean lines; rather, it is composed of irregular strokes that suggest a kind of organized chaos.
