Hongbin Zhao is known as a magician of light, shadow and colors. He has been called “Monet of the Orient” by the authoritative Japanese Fine Arts Publication <<Monthly Fine Art>>. Hong Kong’s major newspaper, the article “Walk into the splendid world of the Oriental Monet- Hongbin Zhao” described his paintings: “Monet’s impressionistic painting had a sense of tenderness and beauty, a world that will soon vanish at one’s touch. Where as the difference in Hongbin’s painting is the infusion of dynamic and masculine energy; impressionist with an intensity of life force within… …If looking at Monet’s work is able to purify one’s heart to give up secular concerns, then looking at Hongbin’s work is able to charge one’s energy and re-arouse our love for life and nature...” Messenger of Love and Compassion Hongbin’s art works are bold, flamboyant and lively. Despite the vast variety of subjects that he paints from figurative to landscapes to still life, his most well-known series “Talk with the Angels” is one of the first unique creations in the world.

My mission as a fine artist is to offer our world art that expresses light, hope, dreams, peace, love and compassion!”
