DNIE
DNIE creates uses a colorful pallet of greens, blues, yellows and oranges that beautifully blend into a mix of classic impressionism with a strong dash of Fauvism. He favors colorful pictures, where the viewer can see themselves along a stream, in a flowing field with gentle breezes. DNIE is a native of Shanghai, China and came to the US years ago with a scholarship to study art.
He has a B.A. in Art from Wake Forest University in and M.A./M.F.A. from The American University in Washington DC. He taught six years of art courses at various colleges. During that period he developed his own art form that he calls "Yi-mpression."
The artist applies the principles of French impressionism with Chinese Xieyi painting (pronounced shay-e), which means to express the inner feeling of the artist. Creating this unique style allows him to interpret everyday objects through the celebration of color, light, texture, and unreserved mixture of the East and the West.
