Theresia Yourong Zhang

“I paint glamourous, withered, rusted, flourished, nolstalgic narration with delicate touch of oil paint and pastel, and, draw comics. Intimacy, nolstalgic fashion, and narration are the keys to my art. And of course, Knights and Armors. I value romance and comics as weighted as hi-literature. These cross-cultural content in my art is the ode to my modern female and Chinese identity. ”
