Abstract artist JinBao Han's work is inspired by traditional Chinese painters and calligraphers. His style is both delicate and dramatic, and embodies traditional Chinese painting, interpreted through his own contemporary style that includes vibrant color, resulting in what he describes as a "true, East-meets-West form of expression." Originally from Beijing, China, JinBao Han lives in nearby Asheville.
"My artwork has inherited the very spirit of the 5,000 year old Chinese culture as well as the fundamental essence of its many, dynamic philosophies to be found in the traditional Chinese paintings." - JinBao Han
