BIOGRAPHY

S u n   G u a n g y i   ( 孫 廣 義 )


Born 1967 in Liaoning Province, Mengzhou City, Sun took great interest in painting at a young age.  In 1983 he attended the Shenzhou Art Academy and studied traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy, graduating from the Liaoning University of Art and Culture.  Having been to the Beijing Yuan Ming Yuan ('Garden of Perfect Brightness', Artist Village), Sun experienced the greatness of the Eastern philosophy, as well as the great scriptures and the old masters.  The experience (in the Artist Village) cleansed his soul and made Sun realized the vastness of the universe.  The style of his works have been influenced by his being a devoted Buddhist and hence a vegetarian since 1998, following a Buddhist Monk from the Himalayas.
