Born in 1938, in Zheijiang Province, China, Jiang Tiefeng realized his art passion as a child, evident by his love for drawings and paintings. He became of the most powerful artists in this generation. By adding color to his imagery, he infuses each piece of art with a story. Most of his paintings have a touch of Chinese and Buddhist mythology as he believes every painting must communicate to the people who see it through symbolic meaning.   Jiang started the Yunnan School of Painting. The school featured the use of heavy and bold colors coupled with abstract imagery. Jiang incorporated symbols in his work to represent the custom and the folklore of the Yunnan residents. His 1980 monumental mural is still installed in Beijing at the Great Hall of the People. He first visited the US during an exchange program where he was to teach art at the University of Southern California. He later moved permanently to America in 1984.   Jiang Tiefeng limited editions and themes are universal today. All his paintings depict fertility, motherly love, strength and primordial human emotions. He believes that all living things have a connection and are bonded together through harmony and peace that each of us struggle to maintain.
