Introduction

Zhou Li’s works include paintings in mixed media and installations. Freed from the limitations of materials, she persists in the development of personal aesthetics and thinking based on the thoughts of naturalism. Reasonable romanticism based on European cultures and bold elegance rooted in Chinese traditions can both be seen in her works. Her explorations in contemporary boundaries show loving care for cultures and humanities. In each and every one of her works, the warmly touching details have been pushed towards the visions by this kind of power.
