ANG SANG
All of my paintings show unintentional emotion,
painting to me is Buddha nature in my heart,
which I admire and respect unconditionally. My
painting is different from Western painting,
which emphasizes realistic description or
expresses individuality and so on. Also, it is
different from Chinese traditional painting.
Rather it is under the premise of faith and
devotion. And it is the art language of the
spirituality of our nationality, I am trying to
find out the common point between the ancient
Tibetan traditional art and Western avant-garde
art.

My purpose is to set up a special art language
and soul of painting, which is based on our
traditional and folk art, and to create special
artworks, which have both nationality and modern
characteristics. The more it expresses our
nationality, the more it will be international.
