There is no concept and value of art in our country. People will buy expensive and magnificent artworks not to honor the artist, but to show off their cultural sophistication, without truly understanding what the artwork is attempting to communicate. They only think of art as something lavish, attractive, and visually appealing. They think that art (paintings, murals, mosaics, sculptures, and other works of art) should be presented prominently. There is a story waiting to be told under the smooth surface of sculptures, the remarkable curves and lines of paintings, and the tempting hues of art objects. There is a long history behind art, such a delicate discipline, such as the efforts of ancient painters as they attempted to create a beautiful and appealing world. Winding up his interview he added that every artist paints his own nature into his images by dipping his brush in his own soul and he loves to communicate his thinking to the world and he is still learning. He also added that our government should also promote art culture in our country.
