Luckily, the road of painting was relatively very smooth, so he had good source of finance to further study across the country and in foreign countries.

李夢,原名李玉剛,北京人,1980年出生,2000年畢業(yè)于中央工藝美術(shù)學(xué)院附中,2004年畢業(yè)于天津科技大學(xué)環(huán)境藝術(shù)學(xué)院裝飾系,到國家航空部工作。但他并沒有滿足優(yōu)越的工作條件,辭去公職,拿起從小就喜愛的畫筆,開始了中國人物畫的創(chuàng)作人生。幸運的是以畫謀生,路途還算順暢,有了較好經(jīng)濟來源,增加了更多、更好、更高的學(xué)習(xí)路徑,祖國大江南北,海外眾多國家,有機會去尋、去學(xué)、去訪、去求。藝術(shù)大家和異域文化藝術(shù)精華營養(yǎng)了他創(chuàng)作的力量,加之他對藝術(shù)的酷愛,促使自己用現(xiàn)實主義理念提煉生活瞬間原始風(fēng)貌,夸張描述不易被人們發(fā)現(xiàn)的精妙靈境,滿足欣賞者心靈的渴求。
代表作品:《難民之路》《中東印象》《秋風(fēng)吹冷功名心》《東坡賞竹》《阿拉伯牧馬人》《荷蘭冬日印象》《臭皮匠肖像》《同路人》《倫敦街頭》等。近百幅作品被香港、澳門、內(nèi)地藏家收藏。
探索求知的路還長,他力求扎實地一步步走向更高的平臺,讓自身更強壯前行,永遠(yuǎn)在路上。當(dāng)作品告捷,外界評價有進步亮點,這是作者最美的感受時刻。他想說,學(xué)習(xí)、學(xué)習(xí),能進步,能畫畫,就是人生滿足。
