Li Ying's artistic practice revolves around the concepts of time and nature. "The four seasons are orderly, and everything has its time" is the ancient Chinese wisdom she constantly draws inspiration from. She employs traditional Chinese water-based woodblock printmaking as her primary medium. Her acute observation of nature becomes the source of the subject matter she depicts in her work. She employs a contemporary yet very characteristic visual language that reflects a new interpretation and approach to this traditional Chinese printmaking technique.
