About the Creator
David Xu is a Toronto based award winning artist. He graduated from China Academy of Fine Arts (formerly Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts) with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in 1986. "Art is part of my life. I draw through observation; I paint from life experiences. Every time I put pencil to paper or brush to canvas, I listen to my heart singing: life is beautiful. I want people viewing my artwork to have the same feeling. I seek to capture the wonderful moments of time and nature with colorful light and shadow, bouncing off each other. Oil and soft pastels are my favorite materials. European Old masters and French Impressionists are major influences. Mother Nature and the beautiful things around me and in my life are great inspirations for me to paint." -David Xu
