Elements of Victor’s own experiences are always present in the works he creates. No stranger to complex emotion, he often pulls from his experience during China’s Cultural Revolution: forced to do years of hard labour in the same sunflower fields he grew up happily playing in. 

After graduating from and teaching at one of the top art universities in China, Victor now teaches graduate classes at Fontbonne University where he earned his MFA. He exhibits internationally from Taiwan to New York to Toronto, has published two books, and won a multitude of accolades for excellence in both painting and art instruction. 

“When I was young, my dad told me that genius came from hard working. That had an effect during my whole life and in the way I keep working hard to better myself.”
