DB:请问您会用哪几个词来描述您的艺术风格？ In a few words, how would you describe your artistic style?
奇特的，有想象力的，出乎意料的。
Weird, Imaginative and Unexpected.
DB: 您是从哪里获得灵感的？ From where do you seek your inspiration?
我大部门的作品都是描述人与人之间的联系的。我喜欢收集故事。我的朋友们都非常愿意和我分享他们的故事，这让我很受启发。我也喜欢晚上走在街上，观察来往的人群，获得灵感。有时候，有些画面就突然出现在我脑袋里，直到我把它完全画出来，我才会领悟到它所表达的意思。总的来说，我的灵感来自我每天的生活，来自与朋友之间的谈话，甚至有时候只是在脑海里一闪而过的想法。
Most of my drawings are related to interactions between two people. I love collecting stories. My friends love sharing them with me and that inspires me a lot. I also love walking on the street at night and observing those night-walkers to get inspiration. Sometimes images just pop up in my head and I don’t know the meaning until I finally finish drawing. So, I would say my inspiration comes from my day to day life, conversations between my friends and sometimes just a random thought in my mind.
DB: 在您的Instagram页面里，有许多图片的人脸都是被一些物品或者表情符号挡住的。请问这么做的原因是？ On your Instagram, there are lots of pictures of people but with their faces obscured by objects or emojis. What is the intention behind this decision?
我绝大部分的画作都是受启发于朋友的故事或者我自己的观察。在我的画里挡住人脸，我是想避免把人的个性特征画出来，以免观众能通过画作联想到他们所认识的人。
Most of my drawings are inspired by friends’ stories and my own observations. To obscure the face in my drawing, I want to avoid creating a “personality” of the character. The audiences can project a person they know or think of onto the drawings.
DB: 您希望大家怎么看待您的画作？ How do you hope people respond to your art?
当人们看我的画时，我希望他们能够联想到他们自己的生活。人们总是问我关于画作的主题或者它背后的故事，我一律拒绝回答这样的问题。他们从画中感受到的也许和我想表达的不一样。我认为这才是最令人兴奋的地方——我们在看同一个物品，但感受却是完全不同的。这也是为什么我喜欢听观众看了我的画作之后的感受和想法。
When people looking at my drawings, I hope they can get connected to it through their own life experiences. People always ask me what is the theme or the story behind the drawings and I always refuse to answer. The feeling they got through my drawing might not the same as I wanted to bring out. I think that’s the most exciting thing – that we are looking at the same thing but thinking about a whole different thing. That’s why I really love and enjoy hearing the audience’s feeling and thoughts after looking at my drawings.

DB: 最后，可以向我们介绍一位您最喜欢的艺术家吗？ Finally, do you have a favorite artist?
最近我很喜欢的艺术家是Marion Fayolle，她是法国人。Marion总想通过她的作品把黑暗主题的事物和热情、爱、与渴望结合到一起。她是一位非常棒的故事讲述者，通过最少的设计，和一些简单的元素，就能讲出一个动人的故事。
Yes, I do. My favourite artist recently is Marion Fayolle. She is a French artist who always tries to convey dark themes related to passion, love and lust through her illustrations. She is a great storyteller. With minimal layout and just a few characters, she can tell a story.
