His rich life experiences, persistent rational thinking, and the intrinsic spirit and expressive forms of his works provide a profound reflection on contemporary society and represent a philosophical contemplation of life. His approach avoids the mundane and penetrates deeply into the heart.

Just as perceiving and expressing human life and emotions through art is a credo for artists, Yu Runde consistently practices his serene and pure inner belief, showcasing an exceptional blend of literary grace and cultivated demeanor.

Remaining Faithful to What You Love


There is a maxim engraved on the Temple of Apollo at Delphi –know yourself, the Chinese translation being “know yourself”, meaning that everyone should have the sense of self-knowledge. I often take pain thinking about the reason of my busyness and the essence of my life, but it is not until the recent days that I realize the greatest significance and accomplishment of life is remaining faithful to what you love as always. Painting is what I love and I’ve never changed my mind to it.
