Leon Nie, Artist, loved nature and freedom, but especially loved painting when he was young boy. At that time China was in a state of horror and autocracy and he was deprived of his rights; however, he had access to art, and he always persevered in exploring art during this difficult time. As a result self-taught artist was successful in practice.

When he paint, it is like “the tyrant forcing the bow”, he seldom listen to other people’s advice. he paints as he learns, learn as he paints, mostly he goes with his feelings. he does not quite trust theories (except that he does study art history). So many works in art museums, so many books and magazines in art bookstores, what can you say about all those? he has been to many art museums abroad, seen quite many famous paintings, but when he comes home and takes up the brush, he can only paint according to his intuition. he thinks good intuition is also a kind of talent, and diligence can make up for deficiency. One can become proficient without a teacher.
