| 教育程度与个人自传 |
I have studied several subjects, among them literature, arts history and
drama, and eventually became a teacher.
My first commercial exhibition was in 2005 at the Atelier Terra in Berlin. In 2007 I had a large exhibition (about 60 paintings and drawings) 'Tableaux énigmatiques' at the Stil & Bruch galleries in Berlin. |
