CAO YONG

BIO: Born in a small town in China, Cao Yong started his training in painting when he was only 11 years old. Because his family background was considered politically questionable by the Chinese authorities, the young Cao Yong had to endure unimaginable hardships and humiliations in order to continue his training.

Many years later, upon graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Henan University, he took a position as assistant professor of Art at the University of Tibet. During his seven years in Tibet, Cao Yong immersed himself in the spare beauty of the remote and isolated land, and embraced the distinctive Tibetan culture. In order to copy the remains of ancient Tibetan wall fine art paintings , Cao Yong, accompanied only by a horse, a dog, and a gun for hunting, lived alone in primitive mountain caves for nearly one full year.

Cao Yong's legendary experience in Tibet enabled him to develop a deep understanding of the connection between the natural and the human, as well as between the secular and spiritual. It is this understanding that breathes life into his exquisite images, and makes his work both powerful and, in the most classical sense, romantic.

"I was born in a small town that the sea winds could never reach, and I lived on the snow-capped Tibetan Plateau. The first time I lay my eyes on the ocean it was like to pull back the curtain of my soul. The stunning curves of the coastline, the twinkling stars reflected on the dark water, a boat swaying with the breeze. It drives me from one dream to another. With great joy, I cannot stop myself from grabbing my paint brush and putting them to canvas. I want to share this joy with everyone who loves dreams". — CAO YONG
