>> AT THAT MOMENT I WAS LUCKY I MET THE ARTISTS WHO WERE VERY FAMOUS ARTISTS BUT WHO WAS NOT COMMUNIST PARTY MEMBERS, AND HE WAS FORCED TO THE COAL MINES.

HIS SMALL STUDIO HAS A SPECIAL SMELL.

WHAT KIND OF SMELL?

LINSEED OIL AND THE BRUSH AND COLORS.

WOW, THIS IS MY WAY.

AT THAT MOMENT I THINK PROBABLY I DON'T BE A DOCTOR.

A LOT OF MONEY, I KNOW, BUT I LIKE ART.

I USE THE PENCE AND BRUSH AND DRAWING.

EVERY DAY.

I'M A VERY INTERESTED ABOUT THE AMERICAN CULTURE.

AND NOT JUST IN THE 21st CENTURY, 20th CENTURY.

I WANT TO GO BACK TO A COUPLE HUNDRED YEARS AGO AND WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE WEST.

>> I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAD HAPPENED IN OHIO.

THAT'S WHEN I FIND THE GOOD SUBJECT MATTER OF OHIO AND THE AMERICAN INDIANS AND I FOCUS ON THE DIFFERENT LIFE.

TRIBALS, OLD MEN, THEY HAD GREAT POWER.

THEY WERE LEADER.

THEY GIVE A STORY.

AND STORY NOT JUST WRITE DOWN.

THEY GIVE JUST -- TALK ABOUT STORY, THE HISTORY.

WHAT IS THIS GENERATION, WHAT IS NEXT GENERATION.

THE YOUNG GIRLS, THEY LIKE TO GO BACK.

THEY WANT TO FIND THE ROOT OF THE THEIR CULTURE.

I LIKE TO USE OIL BECAUSE OIL COLOR, BIG BRUSH OR SMALL BRUSHES.

THE BIG BRUSH CAN REPRESENT THE FEELINGS, THE EMOTIONS.

I NEVER MIX TOO MUCH.

FOR EXAMPLE, THIS IS STARTER.

YOU CAN SEE COLORS.

AND BRUSHES, YOU CAN USE DIFFERENT COLORS.

BIG BRUSH.

DO NOT MIX TOO MUCH.

HOW NICE.

WHEN YOU STAND FAR AWAY, THIS COLOR, IT'S JUST TO GIVE YOU ANOTHER FRESH IMPRESSION.

IN THE 19th CENTURY, MONET AND THE FRENCH ARTISTS USED THE SAME STYLE.

THEY REPRESENT A VERY GOOD TREE.

REMEMBER THAT, THE TREE IS NOT GREEN.

YOU CANNOT USE GREEN TO REPRESENT GREEN.

YOU NEED TO USE SOME BLUE, YELLOW, BLACK AND WHITE TO REPRESENT THE GREEN.

THE STYLE DEPEND ON THE SUBJECT MATTER.

FOR EXAMPLE, THIS, YOU CANNOT USE A BIG BRUSH, BECAUSE THEY HAVE DETAIL, THEY HAVE PAPER.

YOU NEED TO USE THE SMALL BRUSHES AND MANY LAYERS.

FOR THE LANDSCAPE, YOU CAN CANNOT USE THIS ONE.

YOU NEED TO USE A BIG BRUSH, JUST LIKE THE IMPRESSIONISTS.

THAT'S WHY IN MY PAINTINGS, YOU CAN A SEE I HAVE SO MANY DIFFERENT SUBJECT MATTER OF DIFFERENT STYLE FROM TRUMP L' OEIL OR SOMETHING SIMILAR OR REALISTIC STYLE OR IMPRESSIONIST.

THE TITLE OF THAT WORK IS ON THREE SIDES OF MONA LISA.

THE POSE IS THE MONA LISA.

I SELECTED A BOY.

I WANT TO COMBINE THE HISTORY OF TWO VERY FAMOUS, BUT COMBINED BY CONTEMPORARY WORK.

PEOPLE ASK, WHY YOU THINK THIS IS COMPLETE.

THIS IS A GOOD QUESTION.

SOME WORKS, IT DEPEND ON MY FEELING.

FOR EXAMPLE I WANT TO MAKE -- WORKS, AND I NEED TO KEEP THE WORKING ON THE SURFACE -- A GOOD ARTIST MUST UNDERSTAND WHEN IT NEEDS TO BE STOPPED.

DO NOT DO TOO MUCH.

FOR EXAMPLE, THIS MIX THE EMOTION -- YOU CANNOT SEE THE FLOWER OR THIS IS TREES.

THAT IS NOT IMPORTANT.

I CAN SAY THIS IS A SPIRIT, AND THE EMOTION.

AND SOME TIME YOU HAVE TO KEEP THIS EMOTION.

THAT'S OKAY.

DO NOT THINK ABOUT, OH, THIS FLOWER I NEED TO ADD SOME DETAIL.

DO NOT MIX ALL THE DETAILS.

ALL THE SELECTIONS.

IF YOU DO THAT, PROBABLY YOU LOST EMOTIONS.

THIS COLOR, THIS IS MY FAVORITE COLOR.

AND ALSO THE ORANGES AND MAKES GREAT CONTRAST OF THE BACKGROUND.

IN MY EARLIEST WORK, I USED THE ORANGES.

JUST MAKE THE VIOLIN OR CELLO.

BUT BACKGROUND BE BLACK OR DARK.

MAKES A GREAT CONTRAST TO REPRESENT MY FEELINGS.

WHAT IS THE HOPE OF THE PEOPLE?

WHAT IS THE HOPE IN THE FUTURE?

WHAT IS THE DREAM?
