WANG ZHIWU - STATEMENT

Wang's young eyes were immersed in art and mystery from the beginning through his father, a sculptor, landscape artist, and wood craftsman; and his grandfather, a magician that displayed mystery and amazement to his young protege.

While watching his mentors, Wang's natural passions and talents began to blossom. As a toddler, Wang began putting his artistic talents to work, although on the walls of his parent's farmhouse. During Wang's childhood, Wang had difficulty mastering speech and eventually was diagnosed with weaknesses in the muscles in his tongue, not allowing him to open his mouth adequately to speak. Several surgeries cured the malady, but these miracles further deepened Wang's passion for life and beautiful aspects of life's experiences.

Wang graduated from Meizhon Wan Arts and Crafts College in Fujian, China in 2006.
