Ao Li was
born in Hunan Province. Ever since she was a young girl, she loved to
paint and draw. She always knew that she wanted to be an artist. In 2002
she left her job in the insurance office, enrolled at Hangzou University,
Zhong Guo Mei Artist School and began studying drawing and oil painting
full time.
In 2004 she attended an advanced course in oil painting at the Shanghai
oil Painting and Sculpture Institute. During the course she received
direction from several famous oil painters, including Yu Xiao Fu, Zhang
Zheng Gang, Wang Shen Sheng and Yin Xiong. Later she became the student of
famous oil painting master, Mr Chen Yi Fei. After this kind teacher looked
at Ao li¡¦s oil painting portfolio, he commented highly of her. ¡§Your works
have the divine and wonderful spirit, through them I can feel an artists¡¦
rich emotional world, and the rigid pursuit of the true, the good and the
beautiful. Your work represents yourself, you are very hopeful.¡¨
Sorrowfully, Mr Chen passed away because of long times spent in tiring
hard work. Ao was deeply saddened at losing the great teacher. Later, Mr
Chen¡¦s younger brother, Mr Chen Yiming, the well known oil painting master
who has worked in New York, stretched out warm hands and received Ao as
his student. With his help and instruction, Ao¡¦s painting skills have been
enhanced greatly.
